The cold front that moved through Sunday did little to make a dent in our rain totals for the year, only a few hundredths of an inch. However, I mentioned the possibility of wrap-around moisture moving in from the east as the low spins and heads that way.
At 5 p.m. Monday, clouds were indeed thickening, radar was showing a blob of moisture heading toward Clark County, and light rain had begun. This was expected to dump an inch of rain overnight into early this morning. Not all areas will get that much, and some may see more.
We certainly need a good soaking and this will be the best chance this week. Two more cold low-pressure systems will drop down from the Gulf of Alaska on Thursday and Sunday but their main moisture will remain off the coast as it slides south into California. Still, we keep a chance of showers almost any day this week and through the weekend.
It won’t be a washout by any means later in the week, as sunshine will makes its appearance. High temperatures that struggled to top 60 degrees Monday — and will again today — should inch upward to seasonal normals.
