DISCUSSION
Issued at 1201 AM EST Fri Feb 27 2026
A chance of rain exists across the southern fringe of the forecast area this morning, as a frontal boundary continues moving away. Any thunderstorm activity should remain well to the south out of our area. Once past that, dry conditions under developing high pressure will move in for the weekend. Saturday looks warmest out of the weekend, with valley temperatures ranging from the mid 60s to lower 70s. Increasing cloud cover Sunday will drop temperatures some, especially across the north. A weak system moves in across the north, providing the cloudier conditions.
Rain chances return during the week next week, with repeated shortwave activity moving west to east across the middle of the country. A potentially stronger system moves in around the end of the forecast period, under a stronger shortwave trough. Though we are a ways out for specifics on next week's precipitation, something we can be the most assured of are much warmer temperatures. The forecast period may round out with mid to possibly, upper 70s for the valley. This would be in the neighborhood of 15 to 20 degrees above normal for early March.
