Discussion:

Clouds will begin to increase today ahead of an unsettled pattern mid-week. Highs will reach the low to mid 60s across muchΒ of theΒ region. Potential for an increased fire danger for the mountains this afternoon with a drier air mass and strong gusty SE winds. A series of cold fronts will bring scattered showers and a few storms beginning Tuesday evening. A wedge will likely set up limiting most storm activity with cloudy skies and cooler temps likely. Rainfall totals not looking super impressive at the moment, but nuisanceΒ showers possible through Wednesday morning. Another front slides in Wednesday evening bringing more rain chances to the region. Rain will clear by Thursday night. Warming up for the Easter weekend with highs in the mid to upper 70s Saturday and Sunday.
Fun Note:
The strongest Geomagnetic Storm since September 2017 was reported yesterday. This led to an awesome view of the aurora borealis with New Zealand getting the greatest benefit.
