Thursday Morning Update

Good Morning from Morning Meteorologist Kristen Connolly…

As the saying goes patience is a virtue and with this storm system we have had to be patient. With the slow progress of the storm we were able to see some partly cloudy skies on our first full day of spring with temperatures getting into the lower 80’s. Showers and Thunderstorms did develop along the dryline although it stayed just off to our west.

Today we are continuing the precipitation chances as this system is finally developing off the Baja peninsula. It will begin its progress towards our area, throwing disturbances and plenty of moisture our way. This will allow for overcast skies over the next couple days. Since the track is slower the best chance for the activity has been pushed back towards the weekend. We could still see some stronger storms mainly along the dryline which should push into our western counties over the next few days. With this system, we will continue the upward trend with rain chances starting today at 30 percent and increasing to 50 percent by Saturday. By Sunday it should begin to be pushed into the Colorado region clearing up our weather by the beginning of the work week.

Temperatures will stay steady over the next several days with highs in the lower 70’s and low in the upper 50’s.

Have a great day!
