This morning's low temp (52.7ºF/11.5ºC) was the warmest since the 13th of November, and the high this afternoon (63.8ºF/17.7ºC) was warmer than we've experienced since the 8th of November. Yes, it has been an extremely mild early December day... and we had low humidity (avg 38%) and perfectly clear/sunny skies to go along.
The majority of the weekend ahead should be fairly nice for this time of year, but we'll probably have to deal with some increasing high cloudiness... especially by late tomorrow (Sat) and Sunday. The main issue in our future continues to be a developing early winter storm system, which will introduce an increasing chance of rain showers and mountain snow, starting on Monday, but more likely on Tuesday, then continuing off and on into early Friday.
Although the upper-level storm system affecting us next week looks unusually deep, intense and cold for this early in the season, there are signs that the moisture availability is going to be sub-par. Even so, anyone planning travel or outdoor activities should be staying on top of developments, in anticipation of the first significant precipitation in our area since the first day of October... nearly two and a half months ago.
