pattern still active... (pm.12.feb.19)>

Tuesday's stats:

Low temp: 47.8ºF (8.8ºC)
High temp: 56.1ºF (13.4ºC)
Precipitation: none

Clouds dominated over dim sunshine today, but our temperatures continued to climb... finally a little bit above normal for this stage of February.  There could have been a couple of very light/quick sprinkles of rain somewhere around the area today, but if so, it really wasn't enough to even produce a mentionable precipitation amount.

There is a significant storm system organizing well to our west right now, though it is not looking nearly as ominous, threatening, dangerous or damaging as the one we were bracing ourselves for this time last week.  There could be some fleeting light rain showers somewhere in our vicinity between now and early Thursday, but the best window for some notable precipitation amounts (rain here and snow higher up) will occur between the latter half of Thursday and late Friday.  It still looks clear that the snow line will remain well above McLeod, with some of the warmest overnight low temps of this winter season expected both tonight and tomorrow night, in advance of this system.

Unsettled weather should remain with us into next week... with another risk of occasional rain showers back in the forecast by Monday and Tuesday.  Check the details on THE 7-DAY OUTLOOK tab, above.
