Enjoy those blue skies today, with highs near 50°. You may want to grab the sweatshirt today, and maybe the warm jacket if you’re out and about this evening.
We have a Freeze Watch for tonight into Wednesday morning with many spots likely dropping a bit below freezing.
Our next good chance of rain will arrive Wednesday evening through late Wednesday night, with most of the rain moving out by early Thursday morning. Rain showers will then likely return late Thursday. However, this timing will leave much of the daytime dry Wednesday and Thursday. The high resolution model maps below show some sprinkles trying to develop tomorrow afternoon, with just a trace of rain expected. Again, the steady rain will be Wednesday night. 1/2″ or less rain totals expected for Wednesday and Thursday, so this will not be enough to make flood conditions worse.
Most of this rain will be gone by early Friday morning, with perhaps a little drizzle leftover to start Friday.
This weekend is looking pleasant with lots of sunshine and highs near 60° Saturday, then upper 60s Sunday. Looking forward to warm 70s early next week!
