Tuesday's stats:
Early morning low temp: 50.9F (10.5C)
Afternoon high temp: 60.3F (15.7C)
Rainfall: none
It's been another beautiful day... with sunshine and a few high, thin cirrus clouds drifting through from time to time. Temperatures continue to be in an acceptable range of normal for this time of year.
Our weather pattern is going to become more active and complicated over the coming 48 hours or so -- leading to an extended period of potentially unsettled conditions. There will be several upper-level disturbances tracking from the Middle East into central Asia and the western Himalayan region between late Wednesday and early next week. As I've mentioned many times, moisture is extremely limited (on par for late November), so I'll be very surprised if we can muster any significant rainfall out of any of this. However, as colder air gradually filters in from the northwest, it won't take much moisture to squeeze out some snow showers over the mountains, although accumulations should be generally light.
We can't rule out a few sprinkles or a passing shower from occasionally cloudy skies late this week down here in McLeod and vicinity, but right now I wouldn't bet on anything measurable in the rain gauge. I hope I'm wrong, since we really need some rain.
It looks like temperatures will drop a notch or two between tomorrow and Sunday, so if you haven't had a chance to put your heater to work yet, you might be thinking about it soon...
