There is some patchy high cloudiness at sunrise on this Monday morning, otherwise it is fairly pleasant. My overnight low temperature here on Tushita Road just below the mountaineering center has been 45.5F (7.5C), which is one of the mildest of the month. There has been no precipitation since last report, and the humidity is 40%.
The end of February is the time of year when everyone is anxiously awaiting a dramatic turn to warmer, springtime weather. But of course we often end up frustrated and disappointed when the large scale weather pattern doesn't exactly line up that way. It does look like we're in for some nicer conditions during the next couple of days -- in the form of temperatures which may end up being the mildest of the month -- but it won't last long, as another period of disturbed weather and cooler temps is on the way for the latter part of the week.
In the near term, expect a mix of sunshine and occasional clouds, with temperatures struggling to get close to the average for the tail-end of February. But on Wednesday, we should start to feel the effects of the next shift in the pattern, leading to an increasing chance of some rain showers (with snow above) on Thursday, Friday, and possibly into Saturday as well. It's likely that it will be much cooler than normal as the calendar flips from Feb to March...
