Weather forecast and extended early November

Weather for the Northwest for the period November 2 through November 8 is calling for below normal temperatures and above normal precipitation. The map below is the 500 mb map (18,000 feet) for this period and this indicates a zonal flow. Zonal flow is a westerly flow to bring weather systems in and out of the region. However, with this pattern we will still expect some dry weather is we get some brief ridges of high pressure that build from time to time.
