EXTENDED FORECAST - Highs on Friday will only reach the 50s and 60s with some morning fog possible. Persistent troughing in the western US will help storm systems develop in Colorado through the rest of the month but this will likely keep us windy and dry with any significant precipitation staying to our north and east. A few models suggest some light rain and snow showers will be possible Sunday morning in the Oklahoma panhandle but totals will be less than stellar and unimpactful. Temperatures will stay a few digits below normal through the weekend and early next week before a gradual warming trend in the late week.

Looking ahead into April, as we move into the middle of the month we may get stuck in a two or three week period that is very La Nina-like due to some small scale oscillations working in tandem to keep us dry but this should be short-lived for the overall spring pattern as we continue to see the eastern Pacific sea surface temperatures warm up. Confidence is increasing that at least normal precipitation chances will persist through much of the late spring and summer.

Make sure you have our Storm Search 7 weather app to stay weather aware even on the go.
