a brief thundershower early this morning, and another early this afternoon... along with a few very light showers during the later afternoon hours only delivered 0.3" (7mm) of rain today. although the high temp was a comfortable 23C/74F, it was very muggy, which made it feel warmer when the sun was peeking out.
we're still bracing for some much more significant rainfall in the near future. the satellite pic is rather benign at the moment, showing very little shower and thunderstorm activity in the area, but that will change during the next 24 hours. deep tropical moisture will surge in from the south-southeast, while a series of upper-air disturbances slide in from the northwest. this combinations spells a period of moderate to heavy rainfall starting sometime sunday, and continuing through tuesday. it still looks possible that we could receive 3-4" (7-10cm) of rain by the time it winds down during the middle of next week. temps will cool down as the rainfall intensity increases. it looks like we'll dry out a bit starting on wednesday.
