Forecast Discussion

Tonight a cold front will move through the mountains. Ahead of the front, a wet air mass will be in place. This evening a band of heavy rain and thunderstorms will move through the foothills. Rainfall rates could be heavy for a few hours this evening.

Once the front moves through overnight, cooler air will move in for late in the weekend. The large upper level low pressure that has been sitting out in the plains all week will move into our region. Rain showers will break out on Saturday and will be a little less frequent on Sunday. It will remain mostly cloudy and cool for the entire weekend. The upper low will move away early next week and we’ll see a slow moderation in temperatures. We will begin to see some sun, although clouds will want to hang around for a few days.

Another system to our south will have the potential to bring some light rain to our area around the middle of the work week but there is uncertainty at this time as to if it will be far enough north to affect our region.
