It's been a dry start to November

BOISE, Idaho (CBS 2) — High pressure has been the dominant force in our weather pattern for the first half of the month, keeping us relatively mild and dry to-date. Our last measurable precipitation was at the tail end of October when we saw 0.4 inches of snow, the equivalent to just 0.01 inches of water.

With high pressure parked over the Pacific Northwest since the beginning of the month, any storms moving in off of the Pacific Ocean have been forced northward into western Canada. The weather has been fairly pleasant when it boils down to temperatures but, with some inversion in place around the region, we've noticed the haze.

If we look back at previous five Novembers in Idaho, Boise had 4.3 inches of snowfall on this date in 2014. The snow started on the 13th, with 3.3 inches, and it snowed again on the 14th giving that November 7.6 inches for the month. That's the most amount of snowfall Boise has seen in November over the past five years. The past three years haven't produced any snowfall in the month of November and we've yet to see any this year. In case you were wondering, during the month of November, the Boise area will usually see about two inches of snowfall.

Looking ahead in the forecast, we'll have to keep waiting for a chance of significant moisture to move through the area. Computer models are hinting at a possible pattern change by the middle of next week. At this point, the storm system doesn't look all that impressive, stay tuned!
