Highlights: Weather last week was fairly uneventful, however today, Monday, November 19, 2012, we have had an excessive amount of rainfall.  We have had as of 9:30 PM 2.53 inches of rain since Midnight Monday morning.  Urban flooding was a very common occurrence throughout the day.

Outlook: For the remainder of the week and the weekend we will continue this active wet pattern of rain, heavy at times.  However the good news is we are not expecting any more rain as heavy as Monday was.  We will probably see an additional 1-3 inches of rain spread out through the rest of the week, and some showers over the weekend.  It's after next weekend that some long range models are pointing to a cool down.  December looks like it may have a lot of cold, and some white stuff through at least the middle of the month.  I am continuing to keep a close eye on this situation and will post updates when things become more certain.  One thing is for sure, winter weather is on it's way.

I will be posting last week's data tomorrow evening.  Computer upgrades are preventing me from accessing the normal tools tonight that I use for putting the weekly data together.

Warmest and coldest days are based on average temperature of the entire day, starting at midnight. All other averages are based on the whole week, starting Saturday morning at midnight. All weather data unless otherwise noted is sourced from Carl's Shoreline Weather Station.
