less sun in days ahead... (pm.14.jan.19)>

Monday's stats:

Low temp: 39.0ºF (3.9ºC)
High temp: 51.1ºF (10.6C)
Precipitation: none

It was great to have such a sunny day on this Monday, because we may be seeing a lot more cloudiness during the next week to ten days.  Our weather pattern is going to be more disturbed again starting tomorrow... as a weak upper-level system moves across the western Himalayas.  Precipitation chances will be fairly good in the the higher elevations north-northeast of us between Tuesday night and early Thursday, but not so good here in our immediate area.  Still, the risk of a few rain showers exists for us during that period.

Fast-forward to the weekend... a major winter storm system is being forecast by the major computer models to develop over central Asia, spreading more cloudiness our way.  In the last 24hrs the timing has slowed by about 12-18hrs, with the best chances of rain and snow development now pushed back to either very late Sunday or Monday of next week.  That is a long way out by weather prediction standards, but as of right now, it looks like we could be dealing with a few days in a row of cold and wet/white weather during the first half of next week.
