Happy Friday, and Inauguration Day everyone!
Today is going to be mild with highs in the mid-40s, but that's nothing compared to where we're heading tomorrow with highs in the low 50s and bright sunshine. Some showers are likely today- and in DC as well, where the NWS is going with a 100% chance of rain before 3PM, so the inauguration of Donald Trump will likely be moist and that is unpleasant for all the people going there. Anyway, the storm for next week continues to look very large and it's getting a bit more interesting as a heavy wet pasty snow is quickly becoming possible for northern areas, but for now, I'll go with an ice-cold rain with highs in the mid 30s on Tuesday. UGH. Sunday and Monday look rather wet as well at this point, but the temperatures will likely be slightly warmer than on Tuesday...and we finally clear things out for Wednesday with highs in the mid 40s.
Today in weather history- January 20, 1943- A very strange case of elevation making all the difference. Deadwood, SD, records a temperature of -16 but a mile and a half (and 600ft) away, Lead, SD, is recorded as 52 degrees(!!). That is incredible, and shows just how strange and powerful elevation dependent weather can be.
