WEEKEND WEATHER FORECAST

Saturday will not be clear and bright, despite the main low missing us.

For Saturday,  several weak upper air disturbances along with a strong upper cyclonic flow combined with low level moisture from the main low will bring cloudy conditions and possible spotty light drizzle during the day on Saturday.

While the models don’t crank out any measurable rain, simulated radar from several models show the possibility of spotty light drizzle.

Here’s the latest GFS model Simulated Radar.  Note that the color codes imply a much heavier precipitation than will actually fall.  This drizzle may not be measurable in a rain gauge.)

GFS Simulated Radar for Saturday. (Color coding over-states the amount of rain.)

High 45º on Saturday.

For Sunday:  The models suggest the possibility of a scattered light snow flurry near daybreak Sunday.  Otherwise, a mix of clouds and sun on Sunday.  High 47º.

WEEKEND WEATHER OUTLOOK

Updated Thur 10:40 PM —Adding tonight’s  high resolution model (HIRESW-ARW MEM2) which has light showers 3 AM Saturday:

HIRESW ARW MEM2 precip 3AM Saturday

…earlier Thursday night—
So the Saturday coastal low forecast I’ve been watching this week has become a non-event, as the development is less organized than previously modeled and its track and speed keep it from affecting our area.  Here’s the latest GFS forecast for 6 AM Saturday—

GFS forecast Saturday 6AM

It looks like we’ll have just clouds which may thin during the afternoon. High 48.

Sunday looks to have periods of clouds as well as some sun. High 50.
