Wet Weather Possible

From Chief Meteorologist Craig Carnesi...

Good news, rain chances are in the forecast and temperatures will stay above freezing so we will not have the travel concerns and problems we had this weekend.

Rain chances will begin as early as overnight tonight. The first thing to lead to our rain chances will be the passage of a weak cold front overnight tonight. That front will reinforce the cooler air at the surface and give the moisture something to lift over.

The second and main source for our chances for rain will come in the middle levels of the atmosphere as the Southern branch of the jet stream sets up shop directly over us beginning Wednesday. Numerous upper level disturbances will then pass by and bring us more chances for showers.

Unfortunately all of this will come to an end Friday evening as another cold front blows through and pushes all of this out of our area.

By the weekend partly cloudy skies and cool conditions will rule. Highs will run in the middle 50s. The dry pattern will then continue through most of next week.
