The chilly rain that fell Wednesday amounted to a quarter-inch or so around the county, with perhaps greater amounts in the higher elevations. Wednesday’s high was 47 degrees, which is exactly average for the date, but it sure felt colder to me.
In the wake of Wednesday’s cold front, we will see high temperatures in the low to mid-40s all the way into the middle of next week. The overnight lows will drop, creating many frosty mornings, so watch out for icy walkways and roadways. Typical January coldness.
Outside of a weak weather system cruising by to our north on Saturday, which could cause a light shower or two, I don’t see any precipitation between now and the middle of next week. We begin a period of dry weather after measurable rainfall almost every day this month. Our rainfall totals will drop way below average as we round out January.
For the most part, winds will be light over the next several days, although there will be easterly winds at times, mainly east of I-205. On the west side of the county, we could see an inversion develop, producing stagnant air-quality conditions.
