Happy Wednesday!
If you enjoy spring and the sunshine. This is gonna be a great forecast week for you.
High pressure will build in from the coast, bringing about a warmer and drier weather pattern. Afternoons through the week will hover in the mid to upper 50s with plenty of sunshine on the forecast. I encourage you to spend some time outside this week!
For my friends who enjoy winter, don't worry. A weak low tracking in on Saturday will increase cloud coverage, and a larger system moving in after will bring a slight chance of rain into valleys, and snow to higher elevations. Snow levels will begin at 5000-6000 feet Sunday and lower to 4000-5000 feet Monday.
I hope you take a moment to enjoy the sunshine this week.
