Turning Cool & Wet This Week

Mountain Snow

Hot weather continues today, then big changes are in store for the remainder of the week. A cool and wet weather system is expected to impact our region Tuesday through Thursday, with widespread rain and mountain snow possible. The weather pattern will remain active through next weekend. Monitor the forecast if you have outdoor plans.

Warm temperatures will bring snowmelt to area mountains resulting in strong rises to streams and creeks. While not likely at this time, minor flooding of smaller streams and creeks is possible. Use extra caution recreating on or near waterways today and early this week.

There is potential for a significant precipitation event during the middle of this week. Details are uncertain at this time, so please monitor the forecast for updates!
