there are still some light showers lingering around town just after sunset this evening, otherwise skies are partly cloudy. there were a few sprinkles and brief showers around the area around 10:30am, then our latest round which began just after 4:00pm. in my rain gauge, it has been barely measurable... perhaps a couple of hundredths of an inch at best. today's high temp hit 70.7F (21.5C) just after 1:00pm... according to my records, that's the warmest temp since october 20th, and will likely end up being our maximum temperature for the month of november.
just a peek toward the mountains today indicates there has been a lot more precipitation up there than we've had further downhill. there were at least two rounds of moderate rain and snow showers, so the snow that had melted on the passes during the last several days has been replaced. the upper-level disturbance responsible for the rain and snow is moving out this evening, replaced by what looks to be a quiet, west-to-east flow of air aloft during the coming several days. rain chances should all but disappear again as we get into the weekend.
our unseasonably warm temps are also on their way out... there is no major blast of cold air behind this system, but we should at least return closer to seasonal averages day by day into the middle of next week.
FRIDAY NIGHT: any evening showers rapidly ending... with clearing skies. a bit cooler.
low: 13C (56F)
SATURDAY: sunny to partly cloudy and not as warm. perhaps a brief PM mountain shower.
high: 18C (64F)
SUNDAY: sunshine in the morning, with some mountain clouds during the afternoon.
morning low: 12C (53F)
daytime high: 17C (62F)
MONDAY: sun and a few clouds.
morning low: 11C (52F)
daytime high: 17C (62F)
TUESDAY: a mix of sunshine and clouds.
morning low: 11C (51F)
daytime high: 16C (61F)
WEDNESDAY: both sunshine and some clouds. seasonably cool.
morning low: 10C (50F)
daytime high: 16C (61F)
