A weak front will bring a little rain this evening. showers will become isolated behind the front tonight and saturday then end saturday evening. Another front will reach the area on monday. No organized weather systems are expected for the rest of next week but weak upper troughs will bring a chance of showers at times.
A skinny front will bring a few hours of light rain late this afternoon/early this evening as it moves from southwest to northeast across the area. It will get a little breezy with the front for a few hours but nothing too exciting.
Showers look pretty limited behind the front and most areas will be dry later tonight into saturday morning. Some showers should bubble up later saturday with daytime heating and a weak upper trough moving into the area providing some lift. An isolated thunderstorm is possible in the afternoon near the coast and over the southwest interior where it will be more unstable but the chances look to low to mention in the forecast.
Showers will pretty much end after saturday evening as weak high pressure aloft moves over the area. Low level flow will turn offshore on sunday which should help dry things further with clouds decreasing during the day. Another front will move into the area from the southwest on monday for an increasing chance of rain. Highs will be near to slightly above normal the next few days. Schneider
Some showers will linger into tuesday behind the monday front but the trend will be for drying. It looks like an upper level blocking pattern will develop wednesday and probably continue into thursday and friday. this should keep any fronts or organized weather systems out of the area but it also makes for a rather squirrely pattern with low confidence in the details. There will likely be some dry periods mixed with times when there is a chance of showers. Schneider
River flooding is not expected for the next 7 days.
