Updated 03.11.24 @ 7:51a It’s more of the same this week as unseasonably warm temperatures dominate the headlines. We’ll turn unsettled by late week and this will signal a pattern…

Updated 03.08.24 @ 7:50a “Showery” weather through the early to mid afternoon will give way to an increasingly heavier rain by evening, continuing through the overnight. This is all thanks…

Updated 03.07.24 @ 7:31a Though still stuck with a lot of clouds today, at least we’ll enjoy another dry day. That all begins to change Friday as a new system…

We’ve had a few storms north of the city, itself, early this morning, but for the bulk of the I-70 corridor, things are just now starting to get “busy.” Anticipate rain and storm coverage to continue to expand and grow heavier through the late morning into early afternoon before diminishing.
Rainfall totals of 0.25” to 0.75” will be most common with a few localized 1”+ reports. Rain and storm coverage will diminish through the afternoon and evening hours across the region.
High pressure will briefly build into the region midweek, allowing for drying skies and pleasant early-March conditions. Enjoy, as another storm system will deliver a round of rain and embedded thunder Friday PM and Saturday.
We turn briefly colder Sunday (and windy) but by Monday, the next warm-up is already scheduled to be well underway. This is just another instance of a brief chilly blast without any legs.
Speaking of cold, while there does remain a window of opportunity for a below normal regime to develop very late March and early April (if we can finally get the MJO to slide over into the colder phases), the short to medium term is still void of any sort of chill, at least for more than a day or 2 behind passing storms. Note the Week 2 ensemble data is still much warmer than normal for our neck of the woods. – A direct byproduct of the MJO rumbling through those classic warm phases.
A gorgeous Sunday is on deck with highs rising into the 60s and near 70° west. Enjoy that sunshine while we’ve got it!
Dry conditions should prevail through the daytime hours Monday before showers and embedded thunder roll into town overnight and Tuesday morning. Unsettled conditions will hold through the day Tuesday.
Rainfall totals of 0.25” to 0.75” will be common by Tuesday night across the region.
The next low pressure system and associated frontal boundary will impact us Friday into Saturday. Look for a more widespread, heavier round of precipitation with this particular system as we close the work week.
Despite cooler shots of air flowing in briefly behind frontal passages, there’s no sustained below normal temperature regime on the horizon, and for good reason with this kind of MJO:
