Forecast Discussion and the Longer Range Forecast:

I need to catch up on some life with the passage of this storm, so I'll take the easy way out and just discuss the next 10 days at-a-glance with help from weatherunderground.com...

We warm immediately up to 70F today (Sunday) and experience wonderful weather.  We have another beautiful day on Monday before another cold front moves in around 2pm on Monday.  Temperatures drop and we have another (more substantial than originally forecast a couple of days ago) chance of rain ending with maybe a coating of snow on grassy surfaces and car tops again- Tuesday morning.  It will melt immediately again IF it happens as we warm to the 50'sF that day.  There is some indication of enough instability Monday night that we might see some rumbles of thunder.  A meteorologist can only hope.

More on the spring weather and small rain chances in the week beyond in tomorrow's update!
