RAIN FOR THE WEEKEND
The large system that has cooled us down and brought meaningful rain to the area is moving out but another system moving in will bring another wall of rain to the area this weekend. Models are currently indicating that we will have plenty of moisture move into the area this weekend and an upper-level system will provide lift to bring several rounds of rain back to the area.
What that means is that we will see heavy bands of moisture move in late Saturday through Monday and will bring valley rain and high elevation snow. The most likely period to pick up heavier rain and/or snow will likely be on Sunday which will likely keep our daytime highs into the 40s.
Next week we move into a pattern that will allow highs to build quickly to near average by Wednesday with a few showers and thunderstorms will quickly move through the area. Our next big warm-up is expected to move in by next weekend.
