Saturday's stats:
Low temp: 39.2ºF (4.0ºC) -- at 8:00pm
High temp: 49.1ºF (9.5ºC) -- at 3:45am
Precipitation: 0.75" (1.9cm) -- *updated through midnight*
It's been a crazy day, temperature-wise, with the high occurring during the wee hours of the morning, and the low occurring just recently. With full cloudiness, no sun, and increasing rain showers, those temps have been gradually sliding all throughout the day. Steady light rain has been falling since about mid-afternoon, though as of right now, the amount in the rain gauge isn't all that impressive.
But -- the bulk of rainfall with this incoming system is expected to happen overnight into tomorrow (Sun) morning, so the precipitation total you see in the stats above is going to increase significantly. The center of this latest storm system is located way off to our northwest over central Asia, but it has tapped into a lot of moisture from the Arabian Sea which is being drawn northeastward and wrung out all along the western Himalayan ranges. The snow line should stay above us this time around, but accumulations of snow up-mountain will be on the order of one to two feet, and maybe more, by Monday morning.
Unstable conditions will keep us flirting with lingering rain/snow showers in our general area both Monday and Tuesday, though we should see some sunshine returning as well. The latter part of the week should feature a gradual trend toward some milder weather... but it will likely be the following week before we have the potential to see a more noticeable change of seasons.
