Weather It Is (Is That Weather?)

Good Evening:

Today it rained, but not in many places.  The occasional showers we've been seeing from time to time are the result of cooler air filtering in at mid and upper levels. The cooler air increases the instability of the atmosphere, and cumulonimbus clouds pop up from time to time, rain out, and then dissipate.

Looking ahead, the weather looks like it will be warming up over the next several days. This might be a bit confusing to those who have already turned on the heat or decided that winter is on our doorstep.

Don't give up hope, though, there is a 10% chance that next week will end with a cold winter storm -- but it may end just as it started today.
