The storm system that we’ve been discussing for over a week now is still at least 4 days away. It hasn’t even entered the United States yet. Currently, the storm is just now coming onshore Western British Columbia Canada.

Ahead of this system, we will be sitting pretty with plenty of sunshine and warm temperatures Tuesday and Wednesday… The high pressure then shifts eastward as a potent cold front gets sandwiched between the 2 coastal ridges of high pressure.

A cold front to our west will bring a quick round of rain across the area today.  Some thunder and lightning are possible, however we are not expecting to see any severe weather.

Rain chances will pick up through the morning hours.  The steadiest and heaviest rain will push through between 10am and 2pm.

The next few days look dry and slightly below average. (Average highs for this time of year are the mid 70s, while the lows should be in the low 50s.)

Our next chance of rain comes Tuesday night into Wednesday.  At this point, the threat for severe weather looks pretty low with this system. 

High temperatures on Wednesday will be early in the day, in the upper 60s, before colder air pushes in throughout the afternoon and evening.
