The deepening marine layer will bring more chances for drizzle throughout the morning commute west of the mountains. Looking ahead to the afternoon, the clouds will take their time mixing out, and we could still have patchy clouds over the valleys and along the coast. Meanwhile, temperatures will feel a bit cooler today.
Breezy to windy westerly winds will develop over our mountains and deserts today. Westerly winds will range from 20-30mph with gusts from 35-50mph through tonight. These conditions will persist on Thursday and Friday as rain chances nudge back into the forecast.
The drizzly conditions could change to light rain as early as Thursday morning. Some weather model runs are showing the rain chances after midnight through 10 a.m. before rain chances taper slightly, ahead of picking up again late Thursday into Friday morning. By Friday, rain chances will continue and be off and on throughout the morning, afternoon, and evening. In terms of rainfall accumulation, particularly over the mountains where amounts could be higher, we could see about 0.40’’ by the end of the week. Lesser amounts are expected west of the mountains.
Dry conditions and slightly warmer temperatures will return just in time for the weekend and Easter Sunday.
