wet week ahead... (pm.17.feb.19)>

Sunday's stats:

Low temp: 41.4ºF (5.2ºC)
High temp: 49.0ºF (9.4ºC)
Precipitation: none

It's been another day of cloud/sun battles, with temperatures remaining well below normal for the middle of February.

Our weather pattern still looks very active this week, with a very strong baroclinic zone lying right along our latitude.  That means that competing air masses will be clashing right on top of us, as a good amount of mid-level moisture gets pumped in from the Arabian Sea to our southwest.  A very cold central Asian air mass will threaten to bring the snow line further downhill early this week, but at least as of now, milder air surging in from the south looks like it will take over by the latter part of the week.

We're already well above normal in terms of precipitation for this month, but it looks very likely we'll be adding to that over the course of the coming four or five days...
