Fall is starting to show itself in some parts of the country.

We have started to experience some of the cooler fall weather and the leaves are beginning to turn and to fall from the trees. Some states in the east may even see some snow this week.

But the west is still suffering. They don't know what season they are in anymore. They have been hitting record highs for this time of year and the trend is expected to continue this week.



The warmth comes from this jet stream that is over Canada, keeping all the colder air north instead of turning southward. By the time the jet stream turns southward, it will be cooling off the eastern states instead of the western states.

The west will continue to suffer through droughts and wildfires. They may have some hope in a upper-level of low pressure that is expected to move into the Southwest this weekend as a cold front approaches the Northwest. This will bring cooler temperatures and a chance of rain.
