Precipitation summary… Saturday’s rain totals were pretty good! A few more spotty raindrops fell Sunday afternoon, but precip amounts were light.
Forecast discussion…
There is nothing on radar in our area Monday morning.
Forecast highlights…
*** Cold spots will continue to drop below freezing each night. ***
*** Lots of sun and pleasant fall temps for a while. ***
Monday through Sunday… Monday afternoon there is residual moisture “stuck” in our area and just enough instability to give us a slight chance for an afternoon shower or thunderstorm, but I think most of us will stay dry.
Starting Tuesday a ridge will set up over the region and keep us mostly dry, with lots of sun and temps slight above average.
Winds… Afternoon peaks will be 10-15mph.
Temps… Monday highs will be in the mid-60s to 70s and lows will be in the low 30s to low 40s. Tuesday highs will be 70-80 and lows will be in the low 30s to low 40s. Wednesday through Sunday highs will be in the mid-70s to the low 80s and lows will be in the mid-30s to mid-40s.
The 8-14 day period… A funky blocking pattern is setting up that will keep us mostly dry, with lots of sun, and seasonal temps.
The next forecast post will be on Wednesday.
