Clouds should clear up by midnight for better viewing conditions of the Northern Lights this evening.
Remember to stay away from city lights, get to a darker location and look to the north. A long exposure camera will work the best for capturing the event.
Sunday will see mostly sunny skies, but northwest winds will keep temperatures in the 40s tomorrow afternoon. Clouds will increase Sunday night ahead of a much better chance for precipitation.
If this next system can start across the state early on Monday morning, a few wet snowflakes are possible. This should not create any impacts, but it's something you might see early on your commute.
By the mid-morning hours, rain takes over and we'll track rain through much of Monday. Rainfall totals should be less than an inch as things dry out Monday evening.
High temperatures will hold in the 40s and 50s for most of next week. By next weekend, we'll try to warm near 60 degrees again. We'll track a few chances for rain through the latter half of the week.
