Wet, Raw and Possible Miserable

Sunday Weather

Monday Weather

Tuesday Weather

Thu Weather

If you love cloudy, cool, damp weather with possible lots of rain … well this upcoming 7 days is just for you! I hinted that a change was coming from our beautiful weather, but this is a little more than I originally thought. But then again, not too many saw the stubborn clouds and damp weather for Wed, Fri, and today from last Monday either. So I guess I can be comforted with that. But I missed this. We live and learn.
 
Remember the nearly 2 weeks of sunshine that ended this week?  Well, that occurred because of a blocking pattern that placed us under a ridge of high pressure giving us day after day of beautiful sunshine. Now, the blocking has shifted some and this coming week will place us under a trough of low pressure giving us lots of clouds and possibly lots of rain.

What do I mean?  Rain late tonight into Sun, then rain late Sunday night into Mon, more rain likely Tue, then possibly some heavier rain Thu, with chances for showers Fri and at least Sat.  The only really “dry” day I see right now is Wed.

It will also be chilly. In many ways this reminds me of the start to April. Cool and wet. Now as we head into May it will start cool and wet. Hmmm. Pattern?  The weather does like to repeat itself. I do believe that the month of May will end warm, much like April did.

Anyhow, if you have gardens, grass seed to plant or you want to transplant a bunch of bushes, flowers, etc. now would be a great time. Cool and damp allows them to root themselves and not be stressed by hot, dry sunshine.
 
​
Points for Next 7 Days:

1. Rain: Late tonight into Sunday afternoon, with some left over showers.  
2. More Rain: Another slug of rain arrives late Sun night and ends by early Mon afternoon. Heaviest and steadiest to our north and west.  
3. Warm Monday?  IF (and that is a big if) we get into some sunshine (meaning warm air) then temps could jump to near 70 or higher.
4. Even More Rain: Another slug of the wet stuff arrives Tues morning and last all day.  
5. A “Dry” day: Wednesday. Enjoy it.  
6. Rain Returns: Thursday through at least Saturday. This could be just showers with lots of clouds, or there could be some heavier rain on Thu. No matter, it will be damp, breezy, cool and cloudy.
7. Cool: Most of week. Most days temps will be around the 50s for highs. The exceptions?  Today, Mon and Wed.
