(mabrisa rodriguez)overnight lows will generally range in the upper 30s to low 40s for most areas, which is about 2 to 6 degrees below normal for our nightly lows. tonight will be slightly cooler than last night and the coldest night through this upcoming weekend. high pressure will bring a gradual warming and drying trend to the region through saturday afternoon. temperatures will peak saturday afternoon, with highs in the upper 60s through upper 70s regionwide, or about 2 to 6 degrees above normal per location. this short term warming/drying trend will end on sunday as a low pressure system descends from the gulf of alaska to bring cooler temperatures, breezy winds, and a chance of rain. rainfall accumulations will range from 1/2" to 3/4" for the wettest

spots, while most urban locations top out at around a 1/4" or less for sundays system. another system of similar strength will arrive late wednesday into thursday of next week. given that the normal monthly rainfall for april was already surpassed by the strong storm in the first week of the month, any additional accumulation will further push the region above its monthly normal rainfall, but will be unlikely to help close to gap for the seasonal rainfall deficit. latest numbers show most areas hovering from 60-90% of normal seasonal precipitation for the region.
