This Week’s Hazards
Even with increased rain and storm chances coming, the risk for severe weather looks very low for the next week! Just keep in mind that any storm that forms this time of year can contain heavy rainfall, small hail, gusty winds, and deadly cloud-to-ground lightning.

HRRR Radar Model (New!)
This is a new addition to the website! The time for this simulation runs from 9:00 a.m. today to 9:00 p.m. this evening. Notice we stay mostly dry today, thought there will likely be one or two showers or storms on the plateau during the heat-of-the-day.
Extended Forecast
Saturday: Partly cloudy, with showers and storms developing later overnight.
Sunday: Rain and thunderstorms likely.
Monday – Wednesday: Scattered showers and thunderstorms.
Thursday: Showers and thunderstorms likely.
Seven-Day Rainfall (New!)
This is the anticipated rainfall for the week, as forecast by the computer models. It looks like a healthy drink of water is coming to much of the state over the next week. The heaviest rains are expected to stay to our west (red-shaded regions).
