There are rain chances, but no soaker expected

Big change in the weather from the pattern this weekend that produced the widespread record highs. That ridge of high pressure has lost its dominant position and an area of low pressure traveling north from Mexico will pump in more clouds, sub-tropical air and a chance for rain. This is a very non-seasonal rain chance for us, more summer-like than winter-like. There are a few problems, one is that the surface low pressure is very weak with the system meaning the dynamics to cause heavy rains are missing. Secondly, the recent warm weather was also dry air so it'll take some work to moisten it up to produce much rain. Thirdly, several models keep the bulk of moisture supply just a little too far east. Some showers may develop later on tonight into Tuesday, but I expect we'll see less than .25" of rain, and there is a chance very little (or no) measurable rain will fall locally. We are on the edge of the moisture plume, so it is not an easy call on the low end. By Wednesday we are back to some offshore wind locally, and mild temps. There is a slight rain chance late in the week, but a better chance the middle of next week.
