FORECAST:
A warm front is pushing onshore in a North/Northwest flow aloft. The freezing level will hover around surface. We can expect periods of light precipitation into Thursday as the weakening front stalls over our zone. Wednesday looks mostly cloudy, with just some showers. The FL could go as high as 1700 meters on Wednesday, dropping back down to 700 meters by Thursday night/Friday morning. Seems like the precipitation is on a Southward migration leaving us in a dry mild pattern.
Guesstimates: 8-12 cm by Wednesday morning, 2-4 cm by Thursday morning, 1-3 cm by Friday morning.
