Rain chances to start the week

Rusty Dawkins,

We have a chance for showers and thunderstorms the next couple of days. They are small chances tonight into Monday, but a few showers and storms will be possible. The chance starts to increase as we get into Monday night, but the best chance for rain will be overnight Monday into Tuesday morning.

The amount of precipitation will vary quite a bit and will be determined by where the thunderstorms form and how long they stick around. For most of us, a quarter of an inch will be possible along and near I80, with some higher spots under the thunderstorms. Below is the what one model has for our rain potential through Tuesday morning.

With the rain chances, comes clouds and those clouds are going to hinder our temperatures for a day or two. We’ll be in the middle 80s on Monday, but only the upper 70s on Tuesday!

We do warm back up as we head through the rest of the week, but we’re not expecting it to be excessively hot like it has been recently. Highs will mainly be in the middle 80s. The next chance for showers and thunderstorms will be the end of the week and into next weekend.
