Weather Rollercoaster
* We are only 8 days in to 2006 but it seems like we've seen just about every type of weather we can this year. We hit two record highs (80 and 79, respectively) in the first four days, we reached a morning low of 22 on Saturday, it snowed on Friday, and once again we are back to 73 as of 2:00 pm on Sunday which ties a record high.* The rollercoaster ride can be attributed to a highly amplified weather pattern the past week. Large troughs and ridges have built, and without any blocking ridges in the north Atlantic, these waves can move through quickly giving us the large swings in temperature.
* The models are hinting at a more zonal flow which will allow us to stay a little more steady with temperatures. Also, moisture will return in advance of our next system and finally give us a good chance of rain by Monday night and Tuesday. Remember that a Red Flag warning is in effect for today, meaning a high fire danger is present. Please do not burn!
