The models are in increasing agreement with a clipper disturbance bringing light showers on Wednesday, with the ‘heaviest’ precip north of our area. Total rainfall here looks quite light.
Some heavy rain looking more likely late Friday into Saturday.

It’s been well-advertised that the coming week will be cooler/colder. Generally sunny skies expected but there may be periods later in the week where warm air tries to make it back here, resulting in some clouds.
