KEY MESSAGES

- Cooler temperatures will be the predominant theme leading into the weekend, with highs reaching the mid 40s and low temps dipping down into the mid 20s.

- A warming trend will begin to occur starting Saturday, causing temperatures to reach into the 50s and even low 60s by Wednesday.

- The area will see a period of dry weather through the weekend into beginning of next week, with our next chance of rain being Wednesday (20-40% chance).

LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/

At the beginning of next week, temperatures will begin to crawl back into the 50s as the ridging pattern shifts eastward, funneling in warm southerly air. By Wednesday, some spots will be reaching into the 60s. This trend of warming will persist through at least the end of next week, keeping temperatures in the lower 60s past Wednesday.

The next chance of precipitation (20-40%) will become a possibility on Wednesday. The low level jet is forecasted to strengthen overnight Tuesday into Wednesday morning, which will also funnel in moisture, creating mixing in the lower levels. A cold front associated with a surface low will also be on the move through the OAX CWA as well, adding in a lifting mechanism that could provide aid in yielding showers for the area. Timing of this precipitation is still largely uncertain, and the models are beginning to show precipitation taking a more southern track, which is why confidence in precipitation chances still remain from 20-40%.
