Thursday's stats:
Low temp: 43.3ºF (6.3ºC)
High temp: 50.9ºF (10.5ºC)
Precipitation: 1.59" (4.0cm) -- updated thru midnight
Storm total precip: 1.94" (4.9cm) -- since wed evening
At this moment there is still thunder, occasional rain showers, and some brief gusty winds happening. We've had those conditions on and off and on and off all day long... and since last evening, actually. As of now, precipitation amounts with this latest storm system are running below expectations -- with the greater totals occurring in the higher elevations to our north and northeast (mostly in the form of snow).
All data points to a gradual decrease/lessening of shower/thunder intensity overnight, with most of the precipitation coming to an end by mid-day Friday. We might actually see some sunshine appearing tomorrow, with temperatures quickly rebounding nicely.
But -- very cold central Asian air in the mid- and upper-levels of the atmosphere is going to drop southward across the northern one-third of India between mid-day Sunday and Tuesday. This will destabilize our atmosphere once again, and could produce some scattered rain and snow showers during that period of time. Moisture will be limited, but the mountain effect is a wildcard. Hopefully we'll see a trend toward some milder weather by the middle of next week...
