Overcast conditions with  cool temperatures later today. The flow aloft switches to  Westerly later in the day. Friday will see a chance of some showers but looks pretty dry. Dirty ridging for the weekend with mostly sunny skies with some cloud in the mix. More of the same early next week. Will post again on Monday. Guesstimates: 0 mm by Friday am, 0-1 mm by Saturday am. 0 mm for Sunday into next week. May see some precipitation Friday Nov 18, 2022.???? It can change!!
