Monday's stats:
Low temp: 36.0ºF (2.2ºC)
High temp: 48.8ºC (9.3ºC)
Precipitation: trace
We had gorgeous clear skies and sunshine this morning, with the expected build-up of cloudiness over the mountains during the afternoon. Then... there was a brief period of gusty winds and light snow showers right around 4:00pm, as convective activity up-mountain from us fell apart as the heating of the sun diminished. Today's high temperature at around 2:30pm was the warmest I've recorded in exactly one week.
Our weather is looking pretty good for the next day and a half or so, with moderating temperatures and very little chance of precipitation in the forecast. We should see plentiful sunshine tomorrow (Tue), but increasing clouds by either tomorrow night or early Wednesday morning. A brand new storm system will begin to affect us with an increasing chance of rain showers by mid-afternoon on Wednesday, with some significant rainfall possible on Wednesday night through Thursday night. There is a chance that the rain could mix with or turn to snow late Thursday into Friday, but the air mass associated with this incoming system isn't as cold as what we dealt with last week, so at least at this point, snow right here in McLeod looks less likely.
Those fickle computer models are now back ON, with regard to a potentially significant storm system during Losar (next Tue-Thu), so our very active mid-winter pattern remains with us.
