WEEKEND WEATHER FORECAST

Updated  the Sunday forecast below with the newer model data.

The HIRESW model forecasts did pretty good today. We had sprinkles in the morning and again later in the afternoon and evening.  In between, we had clouds and sun.

Tonight’s 24 hour high resolution model data just became available.

Saturday— The models are showing the Atlantic low pressure system to still be affecting our weather on Saturday. Saturday will be similar to today in terms of cloud cover— periods of clouds and maybe some breaks of sun. The RAP model and one version of the HIRESW have it quite cloudy for most of the day. Another version of the HIRESW and the NAM -NEST have clearing breaks in the clouds later in the afternoon.  Less windy as well and winds become southerly late afternoon.  Highs 56-58º.

For Sunday— the low pressure system departs.  Southerly winds will bring milder temperatures. A mix of clouds and sun and perhaps some sprinkles in the late afternoon as a very weak front moves through. High 67-69º.

Last night’s HIRESW-NMMB2 model nailed the early sunshine and the showers moving through now (10AM).

“High Resolution Window Non -Hydrostatic Mesoscale Model  Grid B2 “—>  HIRESW-NMMB2

It has a break in the action by 11 AM and showers move back in about 3-6PM. It has some sunshine breaking out mid-day.

(With Daylight Saving Time, the new High Resolution models become about 10:30 AM and 10:30 PM for just their first 24 hour forecasts.)
