sun/cloud/fog struggles... (pm.25.jan.18)>

Well...  Our overall weather scenario definitely has changed these last several days, as we were expecting.  It's been a surprise to see all of this cloud/fog development here along the mountains in the wake of the fast-moving storm system that brought us some light precipitation back on Tuesday afternoon/evening -- but the drop in temps has been pretty much in line with expectations.

There are no incoming storm system to deal with, at least in the near term, but a west-northwesterly upper-level flow is going to keep us under the influence of a fairly typical mid-winter continental Asian air mass for the next two or three days.  Mainly PM cloud/fog development will still be an issue to watch, but rain/snow is very unlikely through Monday.

A new system pushing into the western Himalayas during the first part of next week looks like it will stay to our north, though there is at least a mentionable risk of some shower activity on Tuesday.
