Lingering Clouds; Rain Wed.

Changes are in store for Wednesday with spotty rain possible early. By Wednesday night, temperatures cool off with a wintry mix possible. We only expect a dusting of snow at most for the foothills by Thursday morning. Thursday is much colder and windy otherwise. Seasonal temperatures and sunshine are expected for Friday and Saturday. Sunday is an OK day as well but clouds increase and a wintry mix is possible late Sunday night into Monday morning.

Please pardon some broken pages... We completed the move to new servers Friday night. Now, we are in a position to bring back some broken pages; however, getting everything back to "normal" is still probably takes through the end of January.

Forecast Discussion

A passing cold front will put an end to any mild temperatures and keeps clouds around tonight. Clouds linger Wednesday with spotty rain showers as low pressure develops to our south. More widespread rain moves in Wednesday night. Colder air will continue to filter in Wednesday night and the rain could change to snow before it ends Thursday morning. At this time, it looks like only a dusting is possible for the foothills.

Thursday is cold and blustery otherwise. High pressure controls Friday and Saturday with seasonably cool temperatures and sunshine. Low pressure will move from the central Plains to the Ohio Valley Sunday and bring rain and possibly a wintry mix. Low pressure looks to form to our south Monday bringing the possibility for a wintry mix. Forecast confidence for Sunday and Monday is low at this time so stay tuned.
