we're putting the closing touches on a very wet day. there have been two major rounds of rain... one between 2:00 and 4:00am, which delivered around a half inch, and a long episode from 9:30am til about 4:00pm, which dumped 1.7" (4.3cm). temperatures today were very cool, remaining in the low to mid-60s(f), or 16-18(c). the sun is trying to break out this evening, and that may be a sign of things to come...
a reprieve from the sogginess of the past week is in order, and it does appear that the monsoon moisture will retreat a bit during the next 48 hours or so. the atmosphere will become more stable through saturday, which should give us a bit more sunshine, less fog, warmer temps, and smaller chances of rain. the rain potential won't disappear altogether, but we should get more hours of dry weather out of the deal. unfortunately, the deep, tropical moisture will be quick to return, starting on sunday... with a return to saturated conditions and high potential for heavy rainfall as the new week unfolds...
