...Perhaps A Shower Overnight...

If you were up early this morning, I hope that you got the message to
step outside and enjoy the spectacular sky show with a crescent moon,
Venus, Saturn, Mars, the new exploding comet, the International Space
Station and the Space Shuttle all onstage. The weather was very
cooperative, with clear skies and chilly temperatures.

CHILLY START: Temperatures are in the 30s and lower 40s across much
of the area this morning. Not quite as cold as Sunday morning, and
certainly not as cold as we will experience Wednesday morning.

SHOWERS AHEAD? An approaching cold front will be preceded by a narrow
band of moisture tonight. This will produce an area of showers that
will precede southeastward across the state overnight. Rain chances
will be limited and so will rainfall amounts. Clouds will begin to
increase late today into the overnight. Most of the showers should be
out of the area by Tuesday morning. Tuesday will feature clearing
skies, along with breezy and cooler conditions. .

FREEZE POSSIBLE TUESDAY NIGHT: Some of the normally colder locations
across the northern parts of the area have already experienced a light
freeze, but it appears that a more significant and widespread freeze
is possible by early Wednesday morning. High pressure will dominate
our weather Wednesday and Thursday with another chilly morning on
Thursday.

LATE WEEK RAIN CHANCES: Another system will move through the area on
Friday, perhaps producing another small chance of showers. But again,
it will not do much to help alleviate our drought situation.

BIGGER SYSTEM OUT AT 12 DAYS: Another system will pass through the
area on Sunday, giving us another chance or rain, but amounts will
still be on the smallish side. A bigger system seems to be getting
organized for Thursday the 15th, but you have to remember that out
that far, we are talking as much science fiction as science. But we
can hope.

CRYSTAL BALL FOR TURKEY DAY: As long as we are dealing in science
fiction, it that GFS output verifies, we might see another wet weather
system just in time for the Holiday.

ON THIS DATE IN 1996: A volcano beneath the Vatnajokull ice cap in
Iceland tremendous quantities of melt water to pool underneath the
glacier. The outer edge of the glacier created an ice dam that held
back the water. The ice dam suddenly burst on this date, releasing a
massive flood nearly 2000 feet wide and 12 feet deep that caused
tremendous damage. The peak flow was 50,000m3/sec. Flash floods from
ice dams such as this have probably scoured the world's landscape,
including the Scablands of Washington State. It has been proven that
these geological features were caused by the great Missoula floods at
the end of the last Ice Age, when glacial Lake Missoula was released
several times over a 2,000 year period some 15,000 years ago.
