Nice weather ahead, Tuesday April 14th forecast

Our late season storm continues to linger just to our north and this is why shower chances are still possible. With the high angle of our April Sun, extra energy is also mixing in with the cold moist air. This means a stray thunderstorm is also possible through the evening. Snow could also still occur above the 6000-foot level for our local mountains  through the early evening as well. Gusty west to northwesterly winds will stay strong through at least the mid evening hours.

As the storm system moves further east, look for more sunshine and a slight warming trend to develop. Temperatures will start the week on the cool side before warming occurs through the middle of the week and toward the weekend. The Pacific storm track will stay very active with at ;east two more systems approaching the West Coast over the next ten days or so.  Our forecast models keep hinting that the storms will come close, but rain and mountain snow should stay mostly to our north. The first chance will occur about mid week with the following chance occurring over next weekend. We will monitor closely and see if the models show any changes and rainfall comes back in to the extended forecast. For now, we'll keep things dry with temperatures staying close to seasonal norms.
