THE DAYTIME HIGHS TO REACH INTO THE UPPER 50S TO LOW 60S. THE UPPER

THE UPPER PLAINS INTO THE MID-MS VALLEY BY TOMORROW MORNING. THIS

BUILDS BACK IN MONDAY INTO TUESDAY. DAYTIME HIGHS WILL TREND UPWARDS
INTO THE 70S FOR BOTH DAYS. A WEAK FRONTAL BOUNDARY IS EXPECTED TO
PUSH SOUTHWARD INTO THE REGION TUESDAY EVENING INTO WEDNESDAY,
SUPPORTING AT LEAST 30-60% CHANCE OF RAIN. THE BOUNDARY STALLS
ACROSS THE REGION THURSDAY AND LATER BECOMES AND EFFECTIVE WARM
FRONT FRIDAY INTO SATURDAY AS OUR NEXT TROUGH APPROACHES THE REGION.
THERE'S STILL QUITE A BIT OF UNCERTAINTY IN THE TIMING AND DEPTH
OF THE TROUGH. FOR NOW, LOOK FOR INCREASING RAIN CHANCES TOWARDS
