Good Thursday all-
Well, today will be pretty nice all in all, but we have to get through the morning first. It won't be that hard to do though- just a few scattered flurries and snow showers (or rain showers) will be moving through our state from west to east and I cannot rule out a dusting in areas along and north of I-84. By the afternoon though we should be left with at least partly cloudy skies and temps in the low 40s...we'll take that. Tomorrow looks like an average December day, but then Saturday, Christmas Eve, looks like a bit of a mess with a morning wintry mix changing to rain. Not that pleasant but...it's better than having it on Christmas Day- it appears that we will not have a 3rd straight warm and wet Christmas- this year, it's looking like sunshine with temperatures in the low 40s, which is not that uncommon. Also, as we look into next week, it doesn't appear that we will be dealing with any significant storms until 2017...we'll take this break!
Today in weather history- December 22, 1988- Fort Collins, CO, manages to deal with an extreme wind gust of 123mph- that's category 3 hurricane intensity. The mountain peaks and valleys can certainly help enhance wind, and they certainly did here!
