Friday's stats:
Low temp: 39.4ºF (4.1ºC)
High temp: 45.7ºF (7.6ºC)
Precipitation: 2.00" (5.1cm)
*Total precip since Thursday: 2.85" (7.2cm)*
We've had a lot of rain since early yesterday (Thursday) afternoon, but just within the last hour or so, it seems like this latest storm system is finally winding down. I recorded the heaviest rainfall overnight, but we've also had numerous periods of showers and thundershowers all day today, with an especially heavy thundershower this evening between about 5:30 and 6:30pm. Temperatures were cold, and moved very little throughout the day. The snow line remained well above us, and based on the rainfall here at our elevation, it's easy to deduce that there has been an additional 2-3ft of snow up toward Triund.
Dramatic improvements are expected this weekend, as what's left of this system moves east of us, and a weak ridge of high pressure builds into our area for a couple of days. There will be some sunshine both Saturday and Sunday, but there will also most likely be some waves and patches of cloudiness, as slightly milder air tries to displace the cold air currently encamped here.
The models and data sets are showing yet another active period of weather coming in for next week, with temperatures running below normal for this stage of February. It looks especially cold and wet by next Thursday and Friday. Stay tuned, and keep an eye on THE 7-DAY OUTLOOK tab above.
