This morning its totally cloud free from our tower cam. Just a beautiful view of the city maybe just starting to wake up now that were after the 6 00 oclock hour so Going Forward our weather going to be very quiet as far as not only locally but really over the next couple days. Were not going to have much coming in from upstream so overview right now of the entire country is very quiet not much to point out on this satellite and radar. That includes our corner across the southeast. So temperature wise it will be warmer today than it was yesterday and thats because High Pressure has shifted just slightly. Our wind is now turning out of the south and southwest which is why today well be able to get our temperatures back into the 60s even though its a cold start to the morning now that once it comes up completely to get this southwest wind stirred up. Temperatures will come up from there. Totally clear on our Radar Network picture and that goes forward this afternoon. We do not see anything showing up on future cast. All the way through this evening. Here we are at 6 00 oclock. Going forward into tomorrow were going to have a weak disturbance slipping by this could tip off a shower in the mountains. Outside the mountains we do think this will be dry in Going Forward. The rain chance doesnt come up until wednesday. That looks like it will be the wettest day of the week with the monday and tuesday rain holding for the mountains. Well fastforward to future cast. Its looking like it will be during the midMorning Hours when this rain gets in here with this next front lasting through the afternoon and then finally clearing out as we do head into the early evening. Thats our next chance of rain which is a week after the front however with this one it doesnt look like well have Severe Weather threat. So that is going to be good. Up until that point were well into the 60s. So it doesnt just end with today. There will be more cloud cover around monday and tuesday but mainly dry outside the mountains with rain and thunder coming in wednesday. Behind that front we do cool things down. Temperatures will return to the 50s as we head through the later part of the week and into the start of next weekend for the first week of march. So we talked about how monday is leap day the 29th of february so what is your hypothesis . I theyre rised and my theory we have one every four year im going to say we do leap day to keep our calendar in line with the seasons is my guess. Yes that is correct but you probably dont know why. No idea why but that is as good as i get. But you were very very close. So if we asked you how many days 365. But thats rounded down oh. So there are actually 300 and 65. 25 days. Interesting. Interesting so theres an extra six hours of a year that we round down for we do not even account for when we round down to 365 so every four years we makeup those six hours with 24 hours which is a day. So overtime you are correct if we did not do this then overtime july would be the middle of winter and february would be the middle of summer and our calendar would be completely off. Thats probably the best explanation i ever heard. I had practice yesterday because i showed it twice yesterday so my apologies if youre saying it again. Its interesting. I explained it the best just then i think. You nailed it. Thats good information and super interesting.
