Five Day Outlook

The spring temperature swings are underway, kicking this week off warmer, then ending on a cooler note. We start this week saying goodbye to one system, with a break in the action for Tuesday, then saying hello to a quick-moving system that will bring light valley rain, light mountain snow, and widespread gusty winds for mid-week. Our weekend is shaping up to bring drier and warmer weather back into the picture.
