Wedding Weather?

This week is going to be interesting. And I am not talking about the inauguration.

I will be heading to Las Vegas this weekend to attend Mitch Geriminsky's wedding and there may be snow showers for most of the week and weekend in New Mexico.

Hopefully, the weather won't affect my flights to and from Albuquerque. If, by chance the flights are canceled, at least the wedding will be live streamed.

In Las Vegas, it won't exactly be "wedding weather", although according to an old Landrover commercial, it is supposedly good luck to have rain on one's wedding day. We'll se.

The Las Vegas forecast:

Friday

A 10 percent chance of showers after 4pm. Partly sunny, with a high near 65. South southwest wind 5 to 10 mph increasing to 11 to 16 mph in the afternoon. Winds could gust as high as 24 mph.

Friday Night

A 30 percent chance of showers, mainly after 10pm. Partly cloudy, with a low around 45.

Saturday

A 30 percent chance of showers. Mostly sunny, with a high near 56.

I have to go into Gallup to deposit my check from the class-action lawsuit of the Corn Seed Settlement Program from my farm ownership days.
