Warm and dry conditions were in place again today across the region as high pressure held on for one more day. Clouds increased during the day as well, which kept temperatures about 10 degrees cooler than Sunday in most areas. These clouds are associated with a Pacific storm system that will affect our area starting overnight and persisting through Wedensday.
A strong cold front will crash through the Valley overnight, bringing strong northerly winds to the area by early morning. Winds throughout the day on Tuesday will reach 25 mph, with gusts to 40 mph possible. The southern Valley will see the strongest winds, especially during the afternoon. This storm is much drier than the one we saw last week, so little precipitation is expected in the Valley. However, the high country may see some light snow accumulations during the day and evening hours. High temperatures will only reach the mid 60s as colder air blows into the area, so Tuesday will be a bit on the blustery side.
Winds will die down on Wednesday, leading to warmer temperatures by the end of the week as high pressure returns. Another storm system will attempt to move into our area over the weekend, but the high pressure over us will most likely steer the precipitation north of us. There is a slight chance of showers in the high country for Halloween, but the Valley should remain dry with temperatures in the 50s when the kids head out.
