Awesome Today and Tomorrow. Saturday, Eh.
Dry Air Monster Returns; Rain Chances Return for the Weekend
So, the sprinkles. A couple of models had indicated that we could get some rain today, but most said nope. The forecast leaned dry. For the most part the showers that have developed have been mere sprinkles. Reason? Our friend (or foe) the Dry Air Monster. He’s not very strong today, but he’s there, visible on the morning weather balloon…eating rain as it falls through the air.
Temps Increasing; Low Rain Chances for the Weekend
71° today, steadily increasing to near 80° this weekend. Average for this time of year is around 67°
Weekend Rain
Rain chances come back late Saturday into Sunday. Latest Euro model thinks we’ll see a half inch or less. Timing is ?? But will become more clear as we get closer. Severe weather and/or flash flooding is not expected.
Isolated Light Showers This Afternoon, Evening; Above Average Temps This Week
Rain amounts over the last 24 hours came in right around forecast amounts; generally somewhere around two tenths of an inch. Probably didn’t get your local creek flowing, but every little bit helps add moisture to the soil under our feet. As trees and grass go dormant for the winter, rain will be able to make it to our waterways more easily.

Warm and Sunny Today and Most of Saturday
Dry Through Friday Night, Then Rain Returns
Ahead is a fantastic couple of weather days with sunny skies and warming temperatures through Friday. Highs in the upper 60s to low 70s will make for a nice end to the work week.
Saturday, things start to change. Rain comes in on a low pressure system along with a chance for thunder storms. Nothing severe is expected at this point and rain won’t be constant. The Euro Hi Res (below) is estimating about an inch of rain through Sunday night.
