There has yet to be a morning frost this fall but forecasters are giving in to the possibility of snow falling in the Ferndale area as early as next week.
The current weather forecast expects low temperatures to reach and then fall below freezing (32°) Sunday through Wednesday. The high temperature forecast for Tuesday is a 34°.
Forecasters are referring to Monday as the “800-pound gorilla in the room.” Forecast models vary widely with one expecting clear skies with no chance of precipitation and another expecting a sufficient amount of moisture to result in lowland snow.
So while it must be conceded that there is a chance of it occurring…odds at this juncture seem to side more with it NOT occurring. Time and future model runs will tell…
Beyond that… models actually agree on the area warming slightly under an upper level ridge that will keep conditions mostly dry through Tuesday and Wednesday of next week.
Wednesday also holds potential for snow during the transition from the cold dry air to warmer moister air. Less than an inch is expected according to the current Ferndale weather forecast.
