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.

An unseasonably mild week is on tap with a couple chances of rain and embedded thunder. Widespread, organized severe weather isn’t anticipated in the upcoming week.
Forecast Period: 03.02.24 – 03.09.24
After a quiet weekend (including a progressively brighter sky :-)), unsettled weather will come at us in 2 waves in the week ahead: Monday evening into Tuesday morning and again Friday evening into Saturday. In both cases, we expect widespread precipitation. In the case of our early week system, embedded thunder (non-severe) can’t be ruled out. With our late week storm system, the early call now is for more of an organized general rain to fall. Colder air will return to the region by the latter part of next weekend, potentially including some snow showers by Sunday.
Upcoming Storm Dates to keep an eye on:
*10-Day Rainfall Projection: 1.00” to 2.00”

Despite a rather gloomy and seasonally chilly Friday, the remainder of the upcoming 7-day period will feature nothing but unseasonably warm conditions. We’re set to open meteorological spring like we closed out meteorological winter: well above normal in the temperature department.
After a perfect weekend (at least by early-March standards), we’ll see periods of unsettled weather as an anomalous upper air pattern remains locked in. Note the deep western trough and expansive, strong eastern ridge.
We’ll push 60° Saturday, 70° Sunday, and zip well into the 70s Monday. (Monday’s record is 78°, set back in 1983, just in case you were wondering).
Dry conditions should remain until we get to Monday night and Tuesday morning.
It’s all the start of an unsettled pattern. An upper low will lift north into the OHV Wednesday with additional showers, followed by a new cold front and associated surface low set to impact our neck of the woods mid and late week.
By the time we get to next weekend, widespread 1”+ rain totals can be expected from a combination of the systems.
