Nice cold morning walk! 31.0 degrees on the dot for a low. That is officially my first day below freezing this year. Frost was nice! Walk was wonderful! Walk is gonna be warmer the next few days!
Wild temp swings due to some wind overnight! 1:28 am winds were calm and temp went to 38 degrees. Breezes picked up and rose the temperature to 48. 8 degrees at 4:23am. Winds have gone calm again and now I am back down to 38 and the temperature continues to drop.
38.7 for a low.. When I went walking, I found a very spotty frost this morning. It was a glorious walk in the sun and little breeze! Love cold morning walks, but may have some warmer ones next week!
The outlook, while cool next week, seems to continue dry and uninteresting!
the GFS in Lala land did have a pretty impressive cold shot. Think we still would turn zonal after that passed by.
This is what I saw! I did not confirm
