Precipitation summary… There has been no recent measurable precip.
Forecast discussion…
There is nothing on radar in our area.
Forecast highlights…
*** Dry this week. Spotty afternoon showers next week. ***
*** Gusty winds each afternoon. Sunday will be the windiest day of the week with 30-35mph gusts. ***
Rest of Tuesday through Sunday… A transient ridge is moving through Tuesday afternoon.
For the rest of the week, we’ll be between a ridge to our east and a trough to our west. Upper-level flow out of the southwest will be a little unstable but there won’t be much moisture.
We’ll have mostly sunny skies and gusty afternoon winds.
Temps…
Tuesday night lows will be in the mid-20s to mid-30s.
Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday highs will be in the low to high 60s and lows will be in the high 20s to mid-30s.
Sunday highs will be in the high 50s to mid-60s and lows will be in the low 20s to low 30s.
Winds…Wednesday and Thursday afternoon gusts will be 20-25mph. Friday and Saturday afternoon gusts will be 25-30mph. *** Sunday afternoon gusts will be 30-35mph. ***
Monday and Tuesday… A trough will move through from the west. There isn’t much moisture, but instability could kick up a few scattered showers each afternoon, mostly over the mountains.
The best chance for showers is Tuesday afternoon. Lucky spots could get up to 0.05” of precip.
Temps… Monday highs will be in the low to high 50s and lows will be in the low 20s to low 30s. Tuesday highs will be in the mid-50s to low 60s and lows will be mid-20s to mid-30s.
Winds… Monday afternoon gusts will be 25-30mph. Tuesday afternoon gusts will be 20-25mph.
The 8-14 day period… I don’t see any big storms, but afternoon instability could kick up spotty, hit and miss showers. We’ll be playing the rain lottery.
The next post will be on Thursday or Friday.
