an unsettled period... (pm.15.jan.19)>

Tuesday's stats:

Low temp: 41.9ºF (5.5ºC)
High temp: 54.1ºF (12.3ºC)
Precipitation: none

There were the expected waves of high cirrus clouds moving overhead today, but we had a lot of sunshine in between those waves of cloudiness.  And with a milder airmass nudging its way into our area, we had the second-warmest high temperature of the month this afternoon.

Lots of cloudiness still lurks just to our west, however, as a weak but sprawling upper-level disturbance moves into and across the western Himalayan region.  A few random showers are quite possible somewhere around our general area during the next 36 hours or so, as a fresh batch of cooler air surges southward.  But then our atmosphere will stabilize again by Thursday morning, with another moderation in temperatures expected as we head into the weekend.

Further out... we're still watching the models wrestle with a developing series of storm systems next week.  The jury is out and deliberating as to how all of this might come together and affect our weather, but there are still indications and hints of some significant rain and snow off and on starting as early as late Sunday, and continuing through much of the following week.
