.DISCUSSION...The back edge of the deformation rain band is
beginning to drift southwards towards the area. Light rain showers
will be possible this evening into tonight. Westerly winds are
causing downsloping/drying to occur, so that will likely reduce
the amounts through late this evening. The winds becoming more
northerly later tonight and the atmospheric column will moisten
up, especially by daybreak Sunday. Steady light rain will continue
through Sunday morning, then become more showery. There may be too
much cloud cover to allow for any thunderstorm growth on Sunday.
More breaks expected on Monday could allow for a few isolated
thunderstorms capable of producing lightning and brief heavy
rainfall. Total precipitation ranges from 0.09 to 0.20 inches
through Sunday night. Showers continue into Monday with 0.02 to
0.07 inches of additional rainfall. A warming and drying trend is
expected this coming week with westerly winds in the afternoon
between 6-10 mph with gusts 15 to 20 mph, especially by Wednesday
through Friday. Highs will be in the 70s.
