Happy FRIDAY all!
Today is going to be a very nice day once again, but I cannot rule out some showers in the afternoon hours as a cold front moves through. I am far more concerned about tomorrow though- a line of showers and thunderstorms appears likely to impact the region in the early evening tomorrow night. Some of these storms may be severe...in fact, we are right on the boundary line between a SEE TEXT and MARGINAL risk of severe weather. In the more intense storms, I cannot rule out small hail and gusty winds as they move through. Behind that cold front, temperatures return to normal, and in fact the rain may flip over to some snow for a bit on Saturday night, but no accumulation is likely by any means. The early portion of next week looks dry and seasonable, and a wintry mix threat for Tuesday appears to have decreased significantly overnight as the bulk of the precip appears to fall on the much warmer Wednesday, but we do have to be careful as we enter a colder and stormier pattern for the first couple weeks of March, which does appear to come in like a lion.
Today in weather history- February 24, 2004- A massive snowstorm strikes New Mexico, with areas just east of Santa Fe picking up 20" of snow, and 8" falls in Los Alamos.
