Short term...tonight through Tuesday night. 


Showers and a few thunderstorms continue across the region. The 
low pressure system responsible for the unsettled continue to move 
eastward into the Midwest. This is a rather large system and 
models continue to show isolated showers and thunderstorms 
persisting over the mountains and Highlands into Monday. By 
Tuesday...a ridge of high pressure will build over the area and 
produce mainly dry conditions. 


Valle 


Long term...Wednesday morning through Sunday. Both models are in 
fairly good agreement showing an upper level low drop over Oregon 
and Washington bringing light showers over our area early in the 
period. Near the end of the period the models show the upper level 
low moving back north over Canada and sending a weak wave over our 
area. Look for near average to slightly above average temperatures 
through the period. Wyatt
