Broken to overcast skies today as SE flow continues to spill over
the higher terrain. Where clearing has occurred this morning and
afternoon, the environment will be unstable. This will lead to
isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms through early
evening. Storms will have the tendency to develop near topographic
features, remaining nearly stationary for an hour or so before
meandering away in weak steering flow. Rainfall rates under these
showers and storms may be heavy, with 1 to 2 inches per hour
possible. Gusty winds may also accompany any stronger storms that
develop, but stronger wind gust probability is low.
Loss of instability overnight will reduce winds and coverage of
showers and storms, with mostly dry conditions expected tonight
and Sunday morning. Stratus and fog is expected to settle across
the area, with good moisture recovery at elevation. Outside of
rainfall from storms today, the next chance at wetting rain will
be Monday afternoon.
