Wednesday Afternoon Discussion

From Chief Meteorologist Craig Carnesi...

Slight chances for showers remain in the forecast for the next 48 hours or so. After that, a dry pattern looks to set up once again.

For tonight there is only a slim chance of an isolated shower or two. A cold front pushed through the area early this morning and has gone stationary just South of here. Moisture will continue to overrun the cooler air bringing us our slim chance for showers.

A better chance for showers will come Friday as an upper level disturbance passes over us. Rain chances Friday will run about 20 to 30 percent.

By the weekend we were anticipating another cold front passing but unfortunately it looks like that will not happen now. So, the weekend does look nice with highs in the middle to upper 60s and partly cloudy skies.

Some of the long term models are calling for a big time warm-up for the first week of March. Last weekend may have been our last chance for winter, we'll have to wait and see.
