In case you hadn't heard, there was a giant snowstorm in Colorado earlier this week. We've been enjoying the storm from a safe distance via this Flickr photo set. Gothamist mentions the storm because a warmer version of it is arriving here soon. There's no chance of snow, but the rain and fog are likely to interfere with holiday travel.

The pleasant weather continues! We may see a few clouds this afternoon and the National Weather Service is calling for the slightest of slight chances for a few sprinkles. They are claiming an upper-level disturbance will kick up some clouds. Gothamist looked at the maps and we're not seeing it. Clouds, maybe, but not sprinkles as the atmosphere is way too dry.

Curse you stationary front! Because of your unpredictable behavior, which makes your name a misnomer, Gothamist has had to revise our last two weather posts to catch up with changing conditions. You are a vacillating front not a stationary front! You moved south through town on Friday, took a weekend in Rehoboth Beach, headed north through the city last night before reversing direction late this morning. Staying to our south means the rainy weather will continue, but we won't get the unpleasantly warm and sticky weather.

The weather today is a near repeat of yesterday, which was almost an exact repeat of Monday and only slightly different from Sunday. Tomorrow, however, the weather will be different. How will tomorrow be different? It will be cloudy and cooler. It may not even reach 80. There may be rain tomorrow night, but there's only a slight chance. For Friday and the weekend the forecast is iffy. Oh, the weather doesn't look too bad, it's the forecast itself that's iffy. Cloudy and cool, sunny and cool and sunny and mild are all equally likely at this point! Gothamist believes the latter will occur but only because of our simple-minded optimism.

High humidity and rain showers are more likely than nuclear explosions for the next few days. Early this afternoon doesn't look too bad, but showers and perhaps a thunderstorm may pop up later in the day. We are oh-so-close to displacing 1887 as the fifth rainiest June since records began in Central Park. One good rain shower between now and Friday night will do it. The wettest June on record occurred only three years ago, when 10.27 inches of rain fell.

The cool and wet weather we've had for the first half of June should soon be coming to an end. Although today is only the 12th there's already been more than six inches of rain this month. Currently there's quite a bit of rain as close as Baltimore and Atlantic City. The rain is mostly moving toward the east but may nip us later in the day when an upper-level disturbance pulls it northward a bit.

Instead of morning rain and afternoon sun today will bring us the opposite pattern. We started off sunny but Gothamist sees the clouds beginning to move in. There's a chance of showers or possibly a thunderstorm later today but they shouldn't be as heavy as the downpours that have occurred the last two mornings.

Happy Seward's Day! According to Gothamist's Alaska weather calendar the purchase of Alaska in 1867 by Secretary of State William H. Seward is celebrated on the last day of March. Coincidentally, today is also the anniversary of the 1964 Good Friday earthquake, the most powerful modern North American earthquake. The earthquake and resulting tsunami destroyed much of Seward, Alaska and many other coastal Alaskan towns.

. Monday and Tuesday won't be much warmer, but they will be sunny as a high pressure system moves over us.
