Showers Continue Into Tuesday

The cold core of the upper level low that has been throwing rounds of showers at us for a few days will finally pass over on Tuesday. As it does so, it will continue to spawn showers and even a few thunderstorms. Brief heavy rain, wind gusts, small hail, and lightning area possible. There is also a slight chance of waterspouts over the ocean overnight and/or a weak funnel cloud over land Tuesday afternoon. We’ll dry out Wednesday/Thursday, with a weak weather system arriving early Friday morning, followed by another into the weekend. Temperatures will remain cool for this time of year.

AIR QUALITY: Good to Moderate

Overnight: Partly cloudy with scattered showers and embedded thunderstorms possible. Snow levels dip to 4kft. Lows in the 40s for most areas, 30s for southern valleys.

Tuesday: Partly to mostly cloudy with scattered showers and thunderstorms. Cool, with highs in the 50s.

Wednesday: Becoming mostly sunny. Dry but cool with highs in the 50s for most areas.

Extended: Dry conditions continue Thursday but the chance of rain returns early Friday through Sunday. Temperatures remain cool.
