Extended outlook forecast:
The warm up continues for us tomorrow as highs climb into the middle to upper 50s - a pattern that persists for most of next week topping us out in the upper 50s to low 60s late week. Our next storm system looks to arrive next weekend. Early indications are that it could be more potent that our last few systems in delivering more prolonged moisture, wind and cold with features of an Albuquerque Low based on track location. Temperatures will be a question on this system though - with the strength of our polar jet stream determining how much cold air is able to push south, and how far it is able to do so. That will determine how much of a snow maker this might be, versus plain ol' rain. A lot to resolve - the short story is this week is GREAT, and next weekend looks active.
