Overnight lows were expected to be in the 20s early this morning. I bet some outlying areas dropped to around 20 degrees. That’s surely the coldest low temperature this calendar year. With partly sunny skies, we should warm up to about normal, which is 50 degrees, this afternoon.
I mentioned Old Man Winter was hanging behind the curtains and some forecast models hint he may pay us a visit some time over the upcoming weekend. So, expect cooler conditions and perhaps maybe some white on the ground. Frost or snow? Always too early to predict this far out but at least the potential is there for winterlike weather. We keep the Weather Eye out for you here, so stay tuned.
Talking to my brother Sunday, I mentioned how chilly it felt outside, and of course he had to rub it in how warm it was there. He lives in Phoenix, where the warm sunshine is shining right now. I guess there are many snowbirds from Clark County there at the moment.
Monday was such a clear sunny day that one could see for miles and miles. Did you see the Cascades and the highest peaks like Mount St. Helens and Mount Hood? Both mountains had lots of white snow on the slopes but also plenty of rocky surfaces showing. If we do get some cold and moisture, hopefully they get a much-needed facelift!
