Some Clouds, Isolated Showers

The strong ridge that dominated our weather for the last several days has slid off to the east and a cutoff low in the Pacific Northwest has allowed our upper air pattern to flatten out. This is enabling small upper level disturbances within the flow to move toward our area. What does this mean for our weather? More cloud cover and the chance for rain. If you look at the sky today and notice some high clouds, you may find it interesting to know that these are blow off clouds from strong thunderstorms over Oklahoma. Highs this afternoon will be very similar to the last couple of days and we should top out around 83. Once again, there is a small chance for rain today, but most communities will remain dry. Rain chances will be very slim again overnight and I think the best chance of rain will remain to our north. Still, clouds will likely be around for much of the night, which should keep the morning low near 62.
