The fog today signals how moist the air mass is, but rain-wise more dry than wet today. Surface weather chart above valid today.

We’ve been stuck in this basic pattern for months now and it looks like it will continue for another 1-3 weeks at least.

So only a couple dry days in a row at best most of the time, maybe 3 if we’re lucky.

We continue to be in the squeeze play between a cold snowy low pressure trough to our North and a hot dry high pressure ridge to our South with an active jet stream storm track in-between overhead:

ESTIMATED RAIN AMOUNTS TUESDAY:

ESTIMATED RAIN AMOUNTS WEDNESDAY:

ESTIMATED RAIN AMOUNTS THURSDAY:

The general storm track upper-level pattern doesn’t change much the next 10-15 days:

The yo-yo of mild and cold coming and going coming and going will also continue in this stuck pattern.

I'll keep an eye out for any winter precipitation mischief, as of now nothing WORTH reporting. Remember I don't worship models. Models are tools of the trade. Like the tools of other professions in untrained hands they do more harm than good, and I don't cover rumors.
