Rain This Weekend
An area of low pressure is passing to our South today and high pressure is building in from New England. Those two things will combine to keep our surface winds out of the East or NE all the way through Saturday. This means that moisture off the water will be wedged up against the mountains and we will see cloudy conditions with off and on periods of light rain, drizzle and fog. By Sunday, a strong wave will dig to our West and the surface winds will turn to the South...the temps will climb into the 50s, but we'll have a good chance for rain...maybe even a few t-storms to close the weekend. I still see a short wave in the flow coming in from the SW on Christmas Day, but it does not develop a surface reflection until it passes here....if that scenario holds, we would just see some flurries or light snow showers. That's good "ambiance" snow for the Holiday! We'll keep an eye on it.
