Weekly Significant Weather Outlook
Dry and unseasonably mild weather will likely persist into Thursday due to a broad upper-level ridge of high pressure. A pattern change does look likely late in the week as an upper -evel trough of low pressure approaches with an associated surface cold front. The cold front may slow and perhaps even stall for a day or two as one or more waves of weak low pressure centers move along it. After literally weeks of no rain, there looks to be a fairly high chance of showers late in the work week into the first part of the weekend (probably one or more rounds of scattered showers Thursday night into Saturday) with temperatures remaining on the mild side. At this time, no hazardous weather is expected. Keep in mind, however, that rain after a long dry spell can result in patches of slippery road surfaces due to oil build up.
