Things still look good for today with highs in the upper 70s. The only downside to the forecast today is the wind. We will have a southerly wind around 15mph.
Clouds will start to increase as we move through the overnight hours tonight and through tomorrow and then we start to get set up with a few shots for rain during the back half of the week and through the weekend.
The first shot for rain arrives Wednesday afternoon. But it looks pretty meager.
The next shot for rain arrives Friday. And originally, there was some concern that this round of storms may bring the risk for severe weather, but as we went through the weekend, that risk looked to diminish.
While the storms may pack some brief heavy rain, lightning, gusty wind and small hail, it looks like any threats will be pretty low on the scale and rather brief. And the tornado threat should be nearly zero.
Beyond that, we will see another shot for storms arrive on Saturday and then again next Monday and into Tuesday.
Looking out through the end of March and into April, model guidance isn’t showing much in the way of cold shots and it showing plenty of shots for precipitation — very typical for a weaker El Nino.
