Forecast Discussion & Concerns
Our latest storm system has arrived, bringing more rainfall (around 2 inches) to the plateau.
The greatest risk for severe weather with this system will stay well south of the plateau. Our threat will be heavy rainfall that could lead to localized flooding.
This system will bring a pattern change that will lead to an extended period of below normal temps that should be with us through the Christmas holiday.
