Dry weather prevails throughout the work week.

Dry weather rules the roost this week amid influential surface high pressure, although clouds will make their presence known again on Wednesday. Near normal temperatures will trend below normal following the passage of a dry cold front Wednesday, with the potential for frost Wednesday night and especially Thursday night in the normally colder, better sheltered valleys. Another cold front arrives next weekend, this time with showers and possible thunderstorms, most likely on Sunday.

Rain Gauge Monitor

How Much Rain Has Fallen? (Interactive)

Flash Flood Guidance

Flash Flood Guidance (FFG) provides a general indication of the amount of rainfall evenly distributed over various durations (in hours), necessary to cause small streams to overflow their natural banks. During heavy rainfall, accurate interpretation of the guidance consists of the combination of rainfall that has already occurred plus any additional rainfall that can be confidently expected to fall over the same location in the immediate future.

It should be noted that FFG values represent estimates of average soil moisture and stream flow conditions. Flooding may occur with less rainfall than indicated in areas of high rainfall intensities, impervious surfaces, or steep slopes.
