Slightly Warmer

Our zonal flow aloft will gradually back to the southwest later today in response to a digging trough in the Rockies. This will place our area under the influence of a shortwave ridge which will increase low level temperatures today. You'll notice this later today as highs will be a bit warmer than the past few days. Expect afternoon temperatures near 77 F today with a few high clouds possible this evening. Our surface winds will also begin to switch to the southeast and will help increase our moisture overnight. Therefore, expect a warmer morning tomorrow with temperatures near 50 F when you wake up.

The digging trough in the Central Plains will move our way by Thursday and will drag a cold front through the area. New model guidance has shifted the best rain chances to Thursday, and it still looks like a good cool down behind the front with highs in the 60s possible later this week!
