On-and-off Storms Returns Late This Week

A strong southwest-to-northeast wind flow will carry small, swirling disturbances over the top of that increasing moisture. Their interaction will increase the coverage of showers and thunderstorms. Showers and thunderstorms will stay over the mountains on Tuesday. They’ll begin increasing on Wednesday, and the valleys become fair game Wednesday evening. Scattered to widespread showers and thunderstorms are likely on Thursday and Thursday night. Then scattered showers and thunderstorms are likely on Friday and Saturday. Remember the scattered nature of the showers and thunderstorms will leave some of us dry, so we are not all guaranteed to get rain every day. Most of us should get a least some rain, however, between Wednesday and Saturday.
