Sunday's stats:
Early morning low temp: 45.3F (7.4C)
Afternoon high temp: 57.2F (14.0C)
Rainfall: none
It was a mostly sunny Sunday, but some mid- and high-level cloudiness has developed and moved in from the west this evening. This morning's low temp was yet another new low for the season, and even sunshine today wasn't all that effective to temper the chill in the air. The last three days have definitely started to feel like winter is supposed to feel like around here.
A fast-moving and rather active jet stream pattern continues to sprawl across southwestern Asia, and will keep us from experiencing totally sunny and quiet conditions during the coming week. There are a few minor ripples and wiggles in the atmosphere -- one of which is moving through right now -- and a potentially stronger disturbance for the latter part of the week. A couple of the computer models I use for extended range guidance are suggesting measurable rain for us from late Wednesday into Thursday. My cynicism and skepticism is running high, based on the failure of the last few systems to deliver even a drop of rain, but let's be braced for a chance of showers nonetheless. It will be interesting to keep an eye on things later this week at least.
Temperatures stand little chance of returning to the above normal range... although we should see a bit of moderation during the coming 72 hours or so, I think we should stay near or slightly cooler than normal for the waning days of November.
