Additional Rounds of Showers
An area of low pressure off the West
Coast will slowly move over us and then be absorbed by the upper level flow
Tuesday into Wednesday. Its influence will continue drive the rain shower
machine and keep temperatures cool. It will have moved on by Thursday, but
another system will quickly slide down and approach our area as we head into
the weekend. More unsettled weather can be expected then!
Overnight: Mostly cloudy with showers moving
in off the water. Small hail possible in showers. Snow possible above 2,500ft
in elevation. Lows in the upper 30s to low 40s.
Tuesday: Showers taper off by mid-morning with partly cloudy skies
expected. The atmosphere will destabilize during the afternoon with showers
popping up over the hills once again. Those showers could then drift over
valleys with small hail. Snow once again possible above 2,500ft. Highs in the
50s with 40s in the higher elevations. Occasionally breezy.
Wednesday: Chilly in the morning.
Then, partly cloudy skies with isolated showers possible mainly over the hills.
Highs in the 50s.
Extended: Conditions dry out on Thursday with slightly warmer
temperatures. Southerly winds pick up late as a weather system approaches from
the north. Rain returns Saturday with showers likely lasting into early next
week. Chilly temperatures continue.
The outlook from the Climate Prediction Center for March 24th-30th calls for
the likelihood of BELOW temperatures and ABOVE normal precipitation.
