Some Clouds, Warmer

High cirrus clouds associated with a strong jet streak streamed in early this morning and prevented temperatures from dropping too far. In fact, after hitting 30 earlier, temperatures have since warmed with the arrival of the cirrus canopy. These high clouds will be around through the day and make the high temperature forecast a bit difficult. With even warmer low-level temperatures today than yesterday, I think we should be able to manage 62 despite the high clouds, but I'll undercut guidance and the NWS. The clouds should be gone by this evening, but moisture slowly returns in advance of our next storm system. Lows overnight should drop to around 36. A sneak peek of the forecast for Thanksgiving looks nice for the most part with temperatures in the upper 60s. However, rain chances will return Thursday night and last through Friday.
