VERY wet weekend. Sunshine In The Distance
Happy Saturday! The consistent rainfall continues through this morning as our overhead storm passes by and reorients itself. Rain switches to showers in the afternoon, but the day stays wet all the way through. A brief period of drying occurs tonight's, before the same storm system back rotates more showers into the area for most of Sunday. Temps are considerably low for this part of the season with low 50's for the high wide spread. Low temps keep the snow level low with a winter weather advisory over the mountains holding fast through tomorrow. Impressive snowfall will continue through the weekend in the high elevations. Next week starts out wet, but an extremely attractive warming and drying trend will take over into the back half.
