Forecast Highlights…
Sunny and dry with breezy afternoons this week
More active next week
Rest of today through Sunday… Dry upper-level flow will persist during this period. Sunday is a transition day as moisture will begin moving into the region which could kick up a stray shower or thunderstorm over the mountains. We’ll see lots of sun and temps near to slightly above average.
Winds… Afternoon gusts will mostly be in the 15-25mph range.
Temps… Highs will range from the high 70s to mid-80s and lows will range from the high 30s to the high 40s.
Monday and Tuesday… A weak trough will move through the region from the west. Moisture and instability will increase leading to spotty showers and thunderstorms. My expectations are low. Let’s hope we get lucky!
Winds… Afternoon gusts will mostly be in the 15-25mph range, but stronger gusts are possible near showers and thunderstorms.
Temps… Highs will range from near 70 to the upper 70s and lows will range from the low 40s to low 50s.
My next post will be on Thursday.
