sun, possible showers... (am.4.nov.11)>

it's another in a seemingly endless streak of beautiful mornings.  we have clear skies at sunrise, with the humidity at 57%.  the current temp (and overnight low) is 54.5F (12.5C).

the weekend is nearly upon us... and so is an upper-level disturbance.  this weak system will be moving through the area between now and saturday evening, and may touch off some widely scattered shower and thundershower activity.  any rainfall is expected to be on the light side, but just keep in mind the potential for a round of showers if you plan to be out and about.  there could be some minor snowfall accumulations above 3000m (11,000ft) during the next 36 hours or so.  otherwise, there will still be periods of sunshine, both today and tomorrow, in the midst of some clouds and that chance of rain.

things will quickly clear out again on sunday, with sunshine, low humidity and a rather dramatic warming trend expected for the first part of the new week.  computer models are forecasting temperatures to be well above normal for this time of the year...
