SHORT-TERM FORECAST 

Following some scattered valley rain and high mtn snow  showers early, it will be all about high pressure once again! Expect another round of unseasonably dry weather as a result with little if any precipitation through the rest of the weekend and much of the upcoming workweek. There will be a weak system brushing the region later Tuesday into Wednesday, but no significant precipitation is expected. Temperatures by day will run slightly above normal, but overnight lows will  be rather chilly, especially early in the period. 

       

LONG-TERM FORECAST 

At this time, I still don't see any hints of the start of our more permanent wet season.  Stubborn high pressure will hold fast for much of the extended period keeping the area unseasonably dry and mild. 

 

General Short-Term  Model Agreement:  EXCELLENT

General Long-Term Model Agreement:     GOOD
