It's been a while (out of town). Looking dry through Tuesday and probably most or all of Wednesday (scattered showers Wed). A rainy pattern then returns on Thursday night, so Fri/Sat will be wet but no wind or low level (below 3000') snow concerns. A total of three to four storms will affect our region […]
