we've been stuck in a rut for almost a week now... with our routine of morning sun, a mid-day build-up of clouds, followed by a period or two of showers and thunderstorms in the afternoons and early evenings. can we break out of that pattern anytime soon? first, we have to get rid of the pool of colder air aloft that is responsible for the recently unstable conditions. this time of year, the temperatures are gradually cooling down in all levels of the atmosphere... but it is the relative difference between temps at the surface and aloft that creates the volatility leading to PM storms. there are subtle indications that things will become more stable as we head into next week, but in the meantime, be prepared to dodge more thundershowers. evening and night-time temperatures have been cooling down... but we're still managing to get some mild to warm temps in the daytime, thanks to our sunny mornings...
