FORECAST OPEN-CLIP

FORECAST-WXWALL

THIS WEATHERCAST HAS BEEN PREPARED BY THE NBC2 WEATHER STAFF.

IT IS NOT A VERBATIM OF WHAT IS BEING SAID, BUT IS THE FORECAST FOR OUR AREA.

SLIGHTLY WARMER WEEKEND

Just as expected the cold front that ushered the cool air into the area on Friday has retreated to the north as a warm front. It's doing two things for us:

1. Increasing the temperatures

2. Giving us more cloud cover

So we are anticipating a mostly cloudy weekend with temperatures starting off in the upper 50s then reaching highs near 78. That's exactly what we saw on Saturday, and we will see a near carbon copy on Sunday. However, Sunday will be a little warmer with temperatures hitting 79 degrees, and I am forecasting a little more sun for tomorrow, too.

The winds were brisk on Saturday, and on Sunday they'll die down a little. They'll come from the NE and range from 10-15 knots which will cause the seas to be around 2 to 4 feet and the inland water ways will have a light chop. So plan on improving boating conditions through the beginning of next week.

CA AVALANCHE RESCUE-TRX VOTOPS
