In Brief:
After morning mist and clouds, we warm up for almost a week with only a small chance of an afternoon shower now and then. Next week may see a cool down and another rain event.
Forecast Discussion:
It was cloudy, misty, and foggy in places Monday PM- which will continue through Tuesday AM before dry air moves in from the north shoving the precipitation down to the south. (Figure 1 and Figure 2). There ARE showers nearby in the foothills but not much measurable overnight Monday/Tuesday close to town.
Once the clouds break, mid-morning, we warm to 70°F.
The Longer Range Forecast
By Saturday (Figure 4 and Figure 2) we are almost 20°F above normal and hovering around 80°F again. The next shot of cool air arrives Monday next week to drop us to about 5°F below normal (but still above freezing over the next 10 days - Figure 5). Rain chances return then too. More later! Enjoy some more spring.
