Tuesday's stats:
Low temp: 37.6ºF (3.1ºC)
High temp: 45.9ºF (7.7ºC)
Precipitation: 0.26" (7mm)
Today's rainfall amount was confined to the pre-dawn hours, but combined with what occurred last evening, I had a total of 1.86" (4.7cm) in the gauge for this recent rain event. A quick dose of snowfall last night near my elevation was short-lived, and melted quickly. There were a few fleeting glimpses of sunshine today, otherwise it was mostly cloudy with a couple of brief, light sprinkles of rain in the air.
We are 'in between' right now, as the next storm system in this one-two punch organizes to our west. A milder air mass will begin to be drawn northward as this system approaches, and right now it looks like our next round of significant precipitation will get underway late tomorrow (Wed) into the evening and overnight hours. Winds will pick up, and the risk of thunderstorms will also enter the picture again. Periods of rain, gusty winds, along with thunder and lightning are expected through Thursday night, with some lingering rain showers into Friday as well. The snow line should remain well above us, and maybe even above Galu this time around.
But -- an unseasonably cold air mass will sweep south-southeastward after this system passes, with a mentionable risk of some instability-produced rain and snow showers early next week. No signs yet of a decent spring warm-up.
