Wednesday Morning 1/30
The winds will be the big story Today....gusts will exceed 40 MPH through this afternoon. The temps should be slowly falling for most of the day as well. The mountains really saved us from a dramatic temperature drop behind this front....down sloping will counteract the strong cold air advection. Some places in the Mid West experienced a 30 degree drop in one hour when the front came through!
Our next weather maker will be an area of low pressure coming out of the Gulf on Friday. It should be another "inside runner", so no snow for us again. However, we'll have to watch for the possibility of some freezing rain early Friday Morning. This storm will throw a lot of rain towards us and I think the temps will have a chance to drop below 32 overnight on Thursday. It will be a race between the rain and the warm air...if the rain comes in too early, we'll have a bad icing situation....more on that tomorrow.
