Today's Weather Forecast

Multiple Shower Chances as we Track an Active Weather Pattern

We are going to be watching the sky this week as an upper low will be traversing from New Mexico north towards Minnesota bringing more rain to our neighborhoods beginning this evening. We are looking for the precipitation to start later today at around the 5 PM hour which could bring a tenth of an inch to our neighborhoods. The brunt of the rain with this system will arrive in the overnight hours and into Tuesday morning. We could see an additional two-tenths of an inch fall. Highs today will remain above average following last night's weak cold front in the mid to upper 50s. Tomorrow, we could possibly see our high temperatures surpass 60 degrees. We will be tracking a cooldown, however, once midweek arrives.
