unsettled for now... (pm.4.nov.11)>

we have a partly cloudy sky just after sunset this evening, after a period of mid-afternoon thundershowers delivered 0.04" (1mm) of rain at the upper part of town.  there were even a few minutes of very small hail at my place.  the high temp reached 64.9F (18.3C) shortly after noon... while humidity fluctuated wildly, from 47-65%.

the expected scenario has played out nicely today... although it would have been a bonus to pick up more rainfall during this very dry season of the year.  we'll still have a chance of another round or two of showers during the coming 24 hours or so as this latest upper-level disturbance moves through, but it is unlikely that we'll get anything very significant.  there could still be some accumulating snows higher up the mountain by saturday evening... so take care and be prepared if you're heading up to any of the passes.

by sunday, we'll be launching into a dry pattern again, which should feature lots of sunshine, along with temperatures above normal for the second week of november.  in fact, next week may turn out to be much more characteristic of early-mid october!  stay tuned as we watch to see if it's for real...
