Seasonably cool and unsettled weather will persist across the region thru Thursday. Look for scattered showers and thunderstorms each day, today through Independence Day, with localized wetting rain. Wet snow showers are expected in the high elevations through the early morning hours today (above 10500 feet). With sunrise, expect these snow showers to become rain showers. Snow showers will be possible again, Wednesday night into Thursday (above 9500 feet). We do expect slightly warmer conditions Friday through the weekend, but a daily chance of showers will continue in northwest flow aloft.
