Dry Weekend Ahead for Valley
“This system is projected to only slowly move southward across the forecast area through Thursday and this slow speed will keep the threat of rain and snow going into Thursday night before the low (pressure system) moves east out of the area,” the NWS-Hanford said in its daily online forecast. The forecast looks dry from Friday through the upcoming weekend as the storm track lifts north.”
