.DISCUSSION...The combination of a remnant tropical system lifting
into the area along with a passing cold front will result in
active weather into early next week. Winds ahead will favor a
southerly direction, with occasional gusts up to around 30 mph
possible with passing showers/thunderstorms, and during the
daytime Monday especially if sufficient breaks in the clouds form.
Winds are likely to start to shift more north to northwesterly
later Monday on through the overnight, becoming reinforced as the
cold front passes. Generally, a northerly wind direction will then
be favored through midweek, becoming more terrain driven as the
passing system washes out and its influence becomes less
pronounced.
In terms of precipitation, scattered rain chances will gradually
increase Sunday night into Monday, becoming more widespread likely
later Monday into early Tuesday as the cold front passes.
Additionally, embedded isolated thunderstorm probabilities will
increase Monday afternoon, and any such activity will carry the
threat for lightning, gusty erratic winds, and periods of heavier
rainfall. Overall water totals are forecast around 0.2" to 0.3" of
liquid, but thunderstorms may result in locally higher amounts.
Some light snow may mix in Monday night into Tuesday as
temperatures dip and forecast snow levels fall to around 11,000 ft.
Temperatures will trend back upwards Wednesday onward towards the
weekend, becoming near normal Wednesday, and around 5-10 degrees
above normal Thursday into the weekend. While overnight maximum
humidity recoveries roughly 70% or higher are also favored through
this time, daytime minimums of around 25-35% will likely return
Wednesday afternoon onward. Models suggest a low probability (~10%
chance) of another system bringing a cold front somewhere early
in the upcoming week.
