Saturday's stats:
Low temp: 37.2ºF (2.9ºC)
High temp: 49.7ºF (9.8ºC)
Precipitation: none
It's been a beautiful Saturday -- with lots of sunshine, interrupted by just a few mountain cumulus during the afternoon, and then some patchy cirrus clouds drifting in from the west during the evening. Additionally, our temps moderated nicely, compared with the relative cold of the two previous days. Electricity is being restored all across our area, which has been a huge boost to the moods of many (me included), though I am hearing that there are still a few spots here and there in the dark.
Our forecast as we move into the new week is a mixed bag. Temperatures will be on the rise all the way until and through Thursday, as a high pressure ridge tries to build across northern India. However, there are going to be at least a couple of minor disturbances riding along the north side of that ridge, keeping us in and out of waves of cloudiness, and also threatening us with at least a slight to middling risk of some light rain shower activity. Right now it looks like late Wednesday into Friday morning might be the best chance to pick up some rainfall of any consequence -- but anything on the way this week will amount to very little in comparison to our recent winter storm system.
THE 7-DAY OUTLOOK on the tab above contains the details.
