As 0f 07:00 Hours we have clear skies and unlimited visibility if you are above the stratus layer.
For the forecast, high pressure aloft will bring sunny conditions to the area today, with some valley stratus cloud development with the inverted conditions. Some high cirrus cloud will likely burn off this morning. The ridge will shift Eastward this evening with the flow aloft becoming Southwesterly, a dry stable air mass will move in for Friday with unsettled conditions. A very weak upper level trough will move in for Saturday with overcast skies and the possibility of some isolated snow flurries. Sunday, as of now looks unsettled with a mix of sun and cloud. The ridge appears to rebuild for Monday with sunny conditions. Freezing levels will remain high for today (3000+ meters) and tomorrow morning before slowly descending to around 1200 meters by Saturday. Not looking like a lot of change in the pattern for next week.
