Just A Dusting.

Or a shower.  We have a moderate chance of some late rain late tonight, tapering into the morning hours on Tuesday.  About a tenth of an inch.  In fact, it might all just stay a tad to our north.  That is what brought some more clouds and much cooler temperatures out there today.  Still nice, but not epic.  The mild weather continues into Wednesday with our highs in the low 60s.  The big news is the changing weather.  Our next system is due to arrive on Thursday.  Still looking at timing, but we could see rain before the morning commute.  Not super heavy, or huge amounts, but we could add up to a half inch or more in town.  The models have already backed off a bit from their high of almost an inch.  Regardless, we see a good chance for rain during the day Thursday, especially in the afternoon.  It will be cooler, only reaching 60F on Thursday, and dropping to the mid 40s overnight.  Friday will be cold and possibly still wet.

A high in the mid 50s on Friday means good things for the snow in the mountains.  Perhaps they get a dusting tonight on the high peaks.  By Friday afternoon, those same high peaks could see a foot and half of snow.  We could even see a little bit down as low as 3000 feet.  This will be our first cold storm of the year and very good news to the ski resorts.  The cold weather sticks around for the weekend. Highs will creep back up from Friday's, but not enough to hit the 60s.  Overnight lows will be in the upper 30s to low 40s.  Chilly for sure.  And it looks like we could have more rain by Sunday, with the GFS coming back in line for a storm into Monday.  And other round next Wednesday.  We will need to keep an eye on these in the coming days, as we might be entering an extended wet period.  Yay.
