Monday Night Update

From Chief Meteorologist Brandon Rector...

It was another cold start to the day this morning with temperatures in the mid to upper 30s. We did warm up quite nicely this afternoon with highs in the upper 60s to low 70s.

Rain will be possible tomorrow and Wednesday. Moisture is returning into the area. At the surface, it is from the Gulf of Mexico. In the mid and upper levels it is from the Pacific Ocean. Some of this moisture from the Pacific will be tropical in nature thanks to Hurricane Paul. It is expected to make landfall in Mexico on Wednesday. The moisture is all that we should experience from it. An upper level low to our west in southern California that is helping push moisture into the area will also send some disturbances our way bringing us the chance for precipiation. The best shot at rain will be Tuesday night. For the next couple of days we can expect mostly cloudy skies and breezy conditions. Highs on Tuesday will be in the low 70s. Wednesday they should reach the mid to upper 70s.

A cold front is expected to arrive late Wednesday into early Thursday. This will dry us back out and cool our temperatures down a little bit. Highs look to be in the low 70s through the end of the week.

Have a terrific Tuesday!
