I don’t have any major weather concerns through Sunday afternoon.
A few light showers tonight (north).
It will be cool through Saturday. A slow warming trend Sunday into next week.
A few showers and thunderstorms will return Sunday night (low chances). That will continue into next Thursday.
At this time, peak chances appear to arrive on Wednesday and Thursday. Towards the end of the forecast period.
Some data shows an increase in rain coverage on Tuesday, as well. I am monitoring that.
There are some signs of strong thunderstorms, but it is too far out to be certain. Thus, I will monitor trends in the guidance.
Monitor updates next week, as always. It is spring!
Otherwise, let’s enjoy the calm weather.
