Today's Weather

SYNOPSIS...

An atmospheric river will impact the region Tuesday 
with periods of heavy rain and river flooding. An upper level 
trough will cross the region late in the week for a shift toward 
more showery precipitation, cooler temperatures, and lowering snow
levels. A brief break in the active pattern is possible on Friday
before another front arrives over the weekend. Drier conditions 
are possible by early next week.
