Rainshowers and Starshowers

November in the Rogue Valley can be a time of volatile weather patterns. We have had a very mild fall with warm days and cool nights that led into a surprise cloaking of heavy fog. The fog lasted for 5 days,and temperatures remained steady between 41 and 45 degrees day and night. Then it rained. As the warmer weather moved into the valley, the fog lifted and the cloaking fog lifted to reveal the surrounding mountains. As the evergreen peaks were revealed, the sun peaked through, pale blue sky appeared and the views became spectacular.

Between rainshowers at night, the clouds parted and the brilliant autumn stars danced vividly in the night sky. The Milky Way offered an extra background brilliance as the starshowers fell in front. Autumn evenings of stargazing and puffy, cloudy days make another great season in the Rogue River Valley.
