Forecast for Thursday, March 12, 2020

It’s Friday Eve! It actually makes the weekend seem closer, so there’s that.

OK. Let’s talk. I know you might be thinking that yesterday’s forecast was a bust. I mean, come on weatherdude, where was our promised rain? Some things to keep in mind. First. The airport did pick up .01″ of an inch yesterday morning (before you got up probably) so technically the 40% chance of measurable rain came true! I know what you are thinking. (and you’d be right) That was NOT the expectation put forth by the forecast. I get it. Weather forecasting is still an inexact science despite all the computer models and super smart men and women at the National Weather Service. The fact that the weather is still uncertain despite our best efforts is a feature as far as I’m concerned. It keeps life interesting! Besides. Weatherfolk make good punching bags 🙂

So. Would you trust me if I said today is the day?! Record amounts of moisture in the atmosphere for March combined with increasing instability should (should) lead to showers and storms today and tonight. Heavy rain is possible! Confidence is so high that the National Weather Service has put the rain chances at 100% for today and tonight. Prime time looks to be late today into the overnight hours. Then the storm moves on leaving us with our memories of what was (or wasn’t), along with a sunny relationship with the weekend. Don’t be sad that it’s over. Be glad that it happened! You know. If it does…

Showers and storms today and a high in the low 70s. Heavy rain possible tonight low 50s. Lingering showers tomorrow otherwise mostly sunny mid 60s.

Sunshine rules the weekend! Near 70ish Saturday. Mid 70s Sunday and Monday. Our next storm is promising rain (you give me, promises promises) and mountain snow. 20% chance for showers Tuesday low 70s. Showers likely Wednesday mid 60s. Enjoy!
