Idk. I think you can tack on about 3-4 degrees to those temps the RGEM is showing here. I don’t see it getting quite that cold. I’ve not seen any forecast for Friday morning even remotely close to those temps.

I have no problem with seasonable temps under crystal blue skies. We have freezing temps. over the next 3 nights. On the light side.

30-31° seems about right for Thursday and Friday nights per WRF. REGEM still has about 26°F. We'll see.

Yeah I think most of us will stay above freezing. I haven’t seen one freeze yet. Closest I’ve been was 33°F.

Advection is cranking here. I see upper 30s and low 40s near you currently - could dip below freezing there tonight.

May drain my bell housings to my sprinklers and to my outdoor kitchen and go ahead and wrap them with a towel. If it's gonna be extended periods of low 20s or colder I'll pull the bells all the way off.

El Nino is helping to chip away at the drought slowly but surely. If you believe the models and the CPC forecast the first half of January may be a wet period for us.(BTW Models show 3 storm systems moving through our area next week alone.)

Just enjoying the early winter weather. Sunny through New Year's Day.

I have the Ambient Weather System up. Everything seems to be cooperating except some of the Wi-Fi stuff to the phone/computer.

51.7°F ; DP = 32°F

At 7:30 I’m running almost 3 degrees colder than last night, but the dew point is creeping a little higher. Probably 32-33 and frosty here.

I double checked and I was at 33.7 (34) last night.
As of now (10:20) my temp is almost identical to last night, but dew point higher. Looks like a frost event for exposed areas.
