MORNING DISCUSSION
Good morning everybody, we’ll see some cloudiness at times today, especially early this morning, but we should end up with a partly sunny day on average.

It will be quite mild with highs mostly in the mid 50s to low 60s, so get out and enjoy it!

Today, however, will be our last dry day for the next several (though Friday should be mostly dry, save for an early morning shower).

Clouds will build tonight in advance of a warm front that will push through and keep our lows either side of 40º.

We should see some scattered early morning showers, but those should wane as we approach late morning to mid-day Thursday, with continuing cloudy skies and highs in the 50s.

As a cold front approaches from the west tomorrow, a more robust round of showery weather will push into the region during the later afternoon and evening, so grab the umbrellas if you are heading out for any reason. Lows will drop to near freezing.

Friday looks cooler behind the front, and despite an early morning shower, it should be mostly dry with highs in the 40s to low 50s under mostly cloudy skies. Lows will bottom out in the upper 20s.

Saturday and Saturday night holds some wintry weather potential with a mix of snow, sleet and rain arriving Saturday later morning.

Highs will only rise into the 35-40º range, so while the valley will likely be mostly or all rain, the high terrain above 1000 feet could see a mix of snow, sleet and rain at times during the day, which may change to all snow and sleet as a secondary low develops and passes south of us into the evening, pulling colder air into those high terrain areas.

We can’t rule out minor snow/sleet accumulations, but shouldn’t be much more than a coating to 2-3″ the way it looks now.

For Sunday, highs will rise into the 40s with a few mixed showers possible early.

Monday looks quite nice with high pressure building through for a day and highs in the 40s, but we cloud up again late, and another storm may take advantage of a night time onset and bring more snow and rain to the region, but it, too, does not look like a major storm system.

I will keep you updated! Have a great day, and please become one of the remaining 911 patrons out of almost 52,000 to help support my work before my drive ends this weekend, I hope to keep serving the entire community, thank you.

BE KIND
“Hello babies. Welcome to Earth. It’s hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It’s round and wet and crowded. On the outside, babies, you’ve got a hundred years here. There’s only one rule that I know of, babies: Goddamn it, you’ve got to be kind.”
–Kurt Vonnegut
