Shawn and Arleen doing their weather thing! A big thanks to Mr Kurz and the Global Science class for inviting them to discuss weather – they enjoyed it! If your group would like us to do a presentation, send an email to pagosaweather@gmail.com.
10-6-21: 9:00am update…
It wasn’t a “gully washer”, but at least most of us found a tenth of an inch of rain in our gauges this morning from our first system of the week and our mountain peaks 1-2 inches of snow. As expected, we were on the eastern fringes of the upper level low that skirted by our area during the early morning hours today. There will continue to be some light showers this morning and a slight chance for some scattered showers and storms this afternoon. Depending on how much sun we see, we may warm into the low 60’s by later in the day.
Our next rain maker will be arriving on Friday afternoon as a large trough digs into the west coast, producing another upper level low in southern California and some short waves that will keep our weather unsettled throughout the weekend. By Monday we all could see 0.25-.050 of rain and our mountains 1-2 inches of snow.
My forecast…
The rest of today…For the most part rain will be ending and clouds parting but there could still be a few scattered showers around during the afternoon. Highs will hit the upper 50’s to low 60’s depending on how much sun breaks out this afternoon.
Thursday-Monday: A break in our rain chances through Friday afternoon with lows in the upper 20’s to low 30’s and highs in the 60’s. Our next rain maker will be arriving on Friday afternoon as a large trough digs into the west coast, producing another upper level low in southern California and some short waves that will keep our weather unsettled throughout the weekend. By Monday we all could see 0.25-.050 of rain and our mountains 1-2 inches of snow.
Tuesday-Wednesday of next week: The models are looking interesting for the middle of next week, but I’m still not seeing a consensus yet so I will hold off until tomorrow to make my forecast!
