Monsoon's Monday night update: the vicissitudes this week; storm for the weekend?
Hi!
Just wanted to give you guys an update on the weather. Tomorrow morning (Tuesday 1/29) should not pose any travel problems, as temperatures will hold steady in the mid-30s (and certainly above freezing) overnight.
Showers on Wednesday followed by steadier rain (and even a thunderstorm!) later in the afternoon into the evening. High 64. Becoming quite windy on Wednesday afternoon-evening as well.
Times of sun and clouds, windy and colder on Thursday with a high of 43 that will feel like the low 30s.
Friday will be colder still with a high of 30 and a low of 20. (It will feel like the teens, though gird your loins for BC3-4 conditions.)
Saturday and Sunday look partly sunny with highs in the mid 30s. Some forecast models see a clipper system Saturday night into Sunday that could move through and give us 2-4 inches of accumulation.
(I have seen most of these systems sail north of us and/or suffer from moisture starvation, so it's not something I'm terribly alarmed about.)
Looking ahead, I see another clipper for the 5th-6th, and a potential Nor'easter for the 8th-9th.
Otherwise, not much is going on. Meteorological winter is two-thirds over and it's been pretty uneventful thus far.
As always, stay tuned for updates...
