DISCUSSION
THE ONSET OF A MORE ACTIVE WEATHER PERIOD IS ANTICIPATED
AS A SOMEWHAT COMPLEX PATTERN EVOLUTION WILL BRING MULTIPLE
SYSTEMS IN THROUGH AT LEAST EARLY NEXT WEEK. IN GENERAL, THE
PATTERN WILL FAVOR CONTINUED SUPPORT OF SOUTHWESTERLY WINDS, GUSTY
AT TIMES DURING THE AFTERNOON AND PERIODS OF PRECIPITATION. SOME
LIGHTER PERIODS OF TERRAIN DRIVEN FLOW MAY OCCUR DURING THE
OVERNIGHT PERIODS. IN TERMS OF PRECIPITATION, WILL SEE MODEST
SHOWER CHANCES GRADUALLY INCREASE LATE AFTERNOON ON INTO SATURDAY
EVENING. EXPECT MORE PERSISTENT PRECIPITATION TO BEGIN AROUND 2300
LDT SATURDAY AND CONTINUE TO ~0900 LDT SUNDAY. PRECIPITATION
CHANCES THEN REMAIN HIGH THROUGH SUNDAY, THOUGH MODELS SUGGEST IT
WILL BECOME MORE SHOWERY AND PERIODIC IN NATURE. ADDITIONALLY,
ESPECIALLY BY SUNDAY AFTERNOON THERE WILL BE POTENTIAL (~20-30%
CHANCE) FOR SOME THUNDERSTORMS TO ALSO DEVELOP. ANY STORMS WILL BE
CAPABLE OF MORE GUSTY AND ERRATIC WINDS AT THE BURN SITE. SHOWER
CHANCES WILL BEGIN TO DIMINISH BY TUESDAY AFTERNOON, BUT A
SOMEWHAT UNSETTLED PATTERN REMAINS, KEEPING MORE MODEST SHOWER
CHANCES IN THE FORECAST INTO THE WEEKEND.
FOR THE SATURDAY NIGHT TO TUESDAY STORM TOTAL, GENERALLY EXPECT
AROUND 0.80" TO 1.20" OF WATER, AND POTENTIALLY A T TO 1" OF SNOW
IF SNOW LEVELS CAN DIP SUFFICIENTLY.
