660 meters +2, Valley Temp, Max Temp Yest +6.1, 21.3 mm of rain recorded yesterday.
As of 07:00 Hours we have overcast skies with limited visibility.
For the forecast, a weak warm front will slowly be pushed out of our area as the high pressure to the South strengths for tomorrow. For today we will have mostly cloudy skies with the chance of some intermittent light rain in a Southerly flow, the air mass is stable but moist. The brunt of the precipitation is visiting our neighbours to the North. Freezing levels will remain high and could top out later tonight at around 3000 meters. The residual moisture from the front yesterday will slowly dissipate by Sunday morning. With the warm temperatures a stratus layer will likely form above the valley floor. The surface high will bring unsettled conditions for Sunday afternoon with a mix of sun and cloud. As of now Monday is still looking like a warm sunny day. Another weak weather disturbance will push in for Tuesday with some isolated snow flurries and a freezing level dropping to 1600 meters. Unsettled weather looks likely for Wednesday. All the models are in disagreement to what will be happening Wednesday. Guesstimates Trace to 2cm on Tuesday morning above 1500 meters.
