Another day and more sunshine in south central.  This trend will continue into Thursday for us until the next system moves into the region.  We will see a low move in from the southwest Thursday night and affect the region into the weekend.  It does look as though temperatures will be warm enough that the majority of the moisture will fall as rain a the lower elevations.  So the countdown to our first snow may be on hold until next week.  In the southeast you'll continue to see showers the next few days as an area of low pressure has stalled over the region.  Out west a system will be moving onshore overnight bringing rain to the region as an influx of warmer air will come in with this system.  It will also be a bit windy along the coast.  Into the Interior the weather will again be relatively quiet.
