Forecast Discussion

Temperatures blossomed today thanks to a warming southwesterly flow. The warmth is tempered somewhat Sunday as a cool front makes quick passage across the state. Accompanying the front are a few light showers, mainly in the morning and they really don't have enough "umph" to make it past the mountains.

Monday is sunny and cooler, though still above average, as high pressure makes a brief appearance.

Low pressure moving across the Southeast brings clouds back Monday night followed by a cool and soaking ran Tuesday. For those of us who suffer from seasonal allergies the rain will work wonders on tampering the sneezing and sniffling. Rain ends Wednesday morning with even a few wet snowflakes possible as colder air arrives behind the departing low.

Seasonal to cooler than average temperatures hold steady the remainder of the week. A quick disturbance brings a lighter round of rain back into the picture Friday. I want to bite my tongue, but some high elevation snow could show up Friday morning. We'll cross that bridge then. Enjoy!
