Window of Opportunity for Rain

From KRBC Chief Meteorologist Randy Turner ...

Welcome to the blog, dry most of the time, wet every once in a while.

What we have coming up is a three day stretch of dry and warm weather - Thursday through Saturday, the gusty south wind will dominate keeping temperatures higher than normal but also increasing the wildfire danger.

We're watching a large upper level low pressure center, located off the west coast of California Wednesday evening. It will move east and bring us a chance for rain by Sunday.

It appears our "window of opportunity" for rain will be between Sunday afternoon and Monday morning, most likely overnight Sunday night. Some showers are possible along with a line of thunderstorms. It will be a brief opportunity, but hopefully some, if not all, of us will benefit from some rain. Amounts won't likely be impressive.

Temperatures trend above normal in the 70's Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
Overnight lows above normal around 50.
