Quickie

Only have a few minutes tonight to talk about the weekend system.  First, though, more rain than expected today.  Nearly another quarter inch since midnight.  Impressive.  The active and moist air continues, even into tomorrow.  Sorry sunshine, but you will have to wait or fight to show yourself on Friday.  Oh well.  We could still see some breaks in the clouds, with the best chance around sunset. We should still get a partly clear sky overnight, driving those lows down to the low 40s.

It does look we will see some rain on Saturday and Sunday. Not a whole lot, but kind of a continuation of today.  Perhaps even a little wetter.  The morning on Saturday should break dry, but showers move in late morning or mid day.  This storm is cut off from the jet stream, so it is really hard to forecast its trajectory.  It mostly depends on how it gets pushed from behind.  It will move south, west of us, off the coast, but its eastern edge should brush us decently.  Loos like the heaviest rain will fall Saturday night.

It still looks like sunshine for Monday.  Where have I heard that before?  And that Tuesday storm continue to trend toward diving out of the north and bringing more rain for us.  It does look brief though and we are still seeing a high pressure forecast to start building on Wednesday.  We could see a week to ten days of sunshine and warmth.  Long range is suggesting storms trying to break through middle of the following week, but not quite busting down the door.  It has been a very wet six weeks. Not a whole lot of super heavy rain, but a nice sustained rainfall.
