The forecast is a tricky one today. I'm still holding with the forecast below, because it makes too much sense to change a whole lot. However, it's getting tricky. We're already seeing incoming high clouds, which is fine because all they usually do is filter the sun. Today as those clouds filter the sun, they are also cutting down the ability to burn off those low clouds. So I think we'll see limited sunshine...with Partly sunny skies!

Morning forecast below:

Tuesday October 20, 2009

Good morning from the First Alert Storm Center

We have a lot of fog out there to start your day. You may run into some pretty low visibility on your way to work. After the fog burns off however, and it will, the sun will come out and the afternoon looks nice.

An area of high pressure is moving over us today giving us dry and calm weather. We do however have enough moisture over us to condense out a fair amount of fog this morning. We should still see at least partly sunny skies for the afternoon, but the low clouds will be slow to clear. Highs today should top out in the mid-60s.

Tonight high clouds will start to move in, getting ready for the next round of rain for tomorrow. Another weather system will push in tomorrow morning for more clouds, rain in the morning, then showers in the afternoon. We may see an isolated thunderstorm in the afternoon especially in the mountains.

Thursday after a lot of morning cloud cover again we'll see afternoon sunshine. Friday we'll start off nice with partly sunny skies and dry conditions. We will however see increasing high clouds and then rain at night. Saturday we should clear out for partly sunny skies. Sunday more of the same until the evening when rain will push in. Then very wet weather is coming up for Monday.

Have A Great Tuesday,
