Dry and mild weather continues Thursday
Dry weather conditions will continue on Thursday and Friday, with highs cooling slightly.
The first in a series of storm systems arrives on Saturday, bringing light rain, especially over the northern half of our viewing area. A second, stronger system will arrive on Sunday, bringing widespread light to moderate rain, followed by showers and perhaps thunderstorms into Monday.
Thursday: Mostly sunny and a touch cool. Highs in the upper 50s to around 70ºF. Gusty north-northwest winds in the afternoon.
Overnight: Mostly clear and cool with lows in the low 40s on the coast and 30s inland. Breezy over the ridgetops.
Friday: Mostly sunny with increasing high clouds late. Slightly cooler again with highs in the upper 50s to upper 60s. Gusty winds in the afternoon.
Extended: Rain returns on Saturday but should be mostly light and mainly in the north. Better rain chances come on Sunday with showers lingering into Monday. The Sunday event will likely be more widespread and longer-duration. However, it doesn’t look like we’ll see heavy rain at this time. Thunderstorms will be possible on Monday, which could include small hail. Warmer, dryer weather expected by mid-week.
The outlook from the Climate Prediction Center for April 9th – 15th calls for the likelihood of BELOW normal temperatures and ABOVE normal precipitation.
