Forecast Discussion

Although today was the mildest of 2010, we will see more clouds moving in and the slight possibility of a sprinkle or light shower overnight. High pressure is slowly moving east and as the week progresses we’ll see more cloud cover and better coverage of showers around the mountains and foothills.

A strong upper level low situated over the plains will slowly move east later this week and will impact our weather. We are expecting plenty of clouds and chances for showers from tonight through the weekend. While the forecast may look grim this week, just to let you know, it will not rain all the time. On most days this week, we will see scattered showers. The best day for rain will come Thursday, and by Friday we could even see a few thundershowers as well. Conditions remain unsettled through the weekend, even after the passage of a cold front bringing in some colder air. We will continue to see chances for showers on Saturday and Sunday.
