One more nice day, then showers & slightly cooler highs
Latest models from today including the 18zGFS, shows that Monday will offer one more nice day with highs looking to be in 70s in the interior with mostly sunny skies. Though by later Mon afternoon/evening, clouds should be on the increase as a weak system slides into our area for early Tue with coolish, but short-wave trough moving through during the day Tue. So will likely see showers at times with highs in the mid-upper 50`s to near 60 or lower 60`s as thicknesses lower to around 540m and 850mb temps drop to near 0c. Showers look to linger into Wed, but should be spotty as an area of high pressure is shown to build back over us from the West for mid-late week and into the weekend possibly with what looks to be pleasant afternoon highs with at least partly cloudy skies as heights rise back up into the mid 560`sdm and 850mb temps around +5, +6c. Flow aloft at 500mb from about mid-week through the weekend looks nearly zonal. So some mornings may and or might start out mostly cloudy, but should see some sun by afternoon time. So despite the one and only system coming through for the work week, the week it`s looks to be good shape. Should also say that from roughly Wed through Sun, the WRF shows forecasted highs to be in the low-mid 60`s. So as already mentioned, should be pleasant for about the second half of the work week.

This convergence zone amazes me! It's so strong! I'm hearing nothing but power outages up on Union Hill in Redmond, and the rain continues to pour down on everything! We also had a few claps of thunder. But it's not just the intensity, it's that normally they are fueled by the power of the sun mixing with the cold air. But there isn't any sun. Wow! :)
