Showers Into Monday
A late spring storm system moves through the region into Monday. Rounds of showers rotating around the storm’s cold core will rotate through the region overnight through Monday. Some of these showers will have brief downpours, small hail, and even the possibility of lightning. Conditions will begin to clear Tuesday as high pressure nudges in from the southwest. While this week’s temperatures will initially be cool, they will warm through mid-week.
Overnight: Mostly cloudy with scattered showers. Some showers may have brief downpours. Lows mainly in the 50s.
Monday: Partly cloudy with isolated showers. Cooler, with highs mainly in the 60s and a few coastal and higher elevation locations in the 50s. Breezy at times.
Extended: Expect mostly sunny to partly cloudy conditions on Tuesday with a few showers possible near the coast early, and then an isolated shower possible over the hills in the afternoon. Then, expect more sunshine Wednesday/Thursday with warmer temperatures.
