Warm start to week, couple of rain chances

A few showers to a light rain/snow mix in the higher elevations may work into the forecast for Monday night, but the bigger system is coming on Tuesday and Wednesday. No significant rain is expected.

Skies will remain partly cloudy Friday into Saturday morning.

A soaking rain is on the way for today. Light north wind increasing to 5 to 10 miles per hour in the evening. Chance of precipitation is 100 percent. Cloudy, with a high near 55. There is a chance for fog to develop again overnight, but only if the wind calms down enough.

Today there will be some patchy drizzle before 10 a.m. Otherwise, cloudy, with a high near 57. High near 57. Chance of precipitation is 90 percent.

By this date past year, 2 inches of precipitation had fallen.

Sunday, rain likely, mainly after 2 p.m. South wind 5 to 10 miles per hour. High near 68. Chance of precipitation is 90 percent. Accumulating snowfall is possible, but right now, amounts, if any, are uncertain. The driest day this week with the most sunshine will be Wednesday. East wind 3 to 5 miles per hour.

Today and Sunday won’t be the most handsome days by any means, as a stationary front sets up essentially right over us.

Friday night: Partly cloudy, with a low around 40. Breezy. Chance of precipitation is 80%.

Monday: Periods of rain. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 35. Chance of precipitation is 70%.

Keep your umbrella around this week as the active March weather pattern continues.
