both sunshine and clouds... (am.13.nov.11)>

a couple of clouds are hovering over the mountains early this morning, otherwise we have a mostly clear sky... humidity is high, at 72%.  the overnight low here on tushita road just below the mountaineering center has been 54.5F (12.5C).

as i mentioned on last evening's post, our weather pattern will be fairly uneventful during the next several days, but not as calm, clear and quiet as it was during the first half of last week... when we had a couple of days with nearly 100% sunshine.  the mid- and upper-level flow is rather brisk from the west, and there will be a handful of minor ripples and cold pockets aloft which will likely prevent us from seeing full sunshine.  still... rain chances will be very slight, although a brief afternoon/early evening shower can't be totally ruled out... especially uphill from mcleod.

after last week's extremely mild temperatures, we are already dipping back closer to normal for november, but there are indications we could start to warm up again by the end of this week.
