we have partly cloudy skies early this morning and a very chilly 36F (2.2C). the rain stopped during the late evening... but i recorded another 0.15" (4mm) since last night's post... which gives us a storm total of 3.32" (8.4cm) during the past 5 days. since the snow : water ratio is generally 10 : 1, that explains why elevations above 2200m (7200ft) received 2-3 feet or more of snow.!
things are looking much more calm and quiet for the next few days. the only thing left of our recent storm system is a lingering pool of unseasonably cold air extending from the surface into the upper atmosphere. if we can manage to get some decent sunshine today, then the surface will warm up a bit... and that could lead to some instability which could trigger an isolated shower or thundershower. so don't be surprised if there are yet a few raindrops or sleet pellets or random snowflakes around the area later today. but generally speaking... we are in for some dramatic improvement.
a weak upper-level disturbance will drift through late saturday and sunday, which could stir up another round of light shower action... but it will be only a small nuisance compared to the weather of the past several days.
THURSDAY: a mix of clouds and sunshine. not quite as cold. still a risk of a random shower/thundershower, mainly during the PM.
high: 8C (47F)
THURSDAY NIGHT: partly cloudy and chilly.
low: 3C (38F)
FRIDAY: a good amount of sunshine... a bit milder.
high: 10C (50F)
SATURDAY: some morning sun, then increasing clouds. chance of a light shower by evening.
high: 11C (51F)
SUNDAY: partly to mostly cloudy with a few showers possible.
high: 11C (52F)
MONDAY: partly cloudy skies.
high: 12C (53F)
