WEATHER DISCUSSION: Another day of widespread rain and mountain snow showers are expected though warming temperatures are in the forecast. High temperatures through today will be in the mid to upper 50’s with some areas reaching up into the 60’s. Low temperatures are still expected to be on the chilly side in the 30’s and 40’s.
Much of the widespread precipitation will slowly push off to the east with snow levels continuing to rise back into higher elevations by this afternoon. Winter Weather Advisories will still be in place for higher elevations, gradually ending by 6 pm this evening but warning of slippery road conditions and reduced visibility at times. Another upper-level disturbance from Canada will push south into the region this afternoon, producing more scattered to widespread showers. A few thunderstorms are also expected this afternoon and evening. Showers will taper down during the evening, ending around midnight. As for wind, gusts are possible up to 20-30 mph throughout today, though expect sustained wind at 5 to 10 mph, on the lighter side for most places through most of the remaining week.
Temperatures will moderate closer to normal for the rest of the week. There will be upper air disturbances passing through that will produce isolated showers/thunderstorms through precipitation amounts look to be light. For Friday, a small shortwave trough will pass through, bringing better chances for scattered/widespread precipitation. By the weekend, temperatures will be well above normal across the region. Some places have the potential to see high temperatures up to 90 degrees for the first time this year on Sunday.
