sunshine season... (am.27.oct.11)>

aaahhhh... the sound of silence, on this morning after diwali celebrations.  the sky is 100% clear, as we await the sunrise, with a humidity reading of 44%.  my overnight low (and current temp) is 55.2F (12.9C).

our weather pattern is about as quiet, dull, and inactive as it ever gets in this part of the world.  despite a rather strong westerly flow aloft, the atmosphere is stable and moisture is very limited.  this combination is going to keep us in the sunshine for a few more days, with very little chance of even a stray shower... except perhaps far up the mountains.  by late sunday, computer models are hinting at a bit of instability developing, which will gradually increase our shower chances as we head into the new week.

it looks like temperatures will remain fairly steady right through the forecast period, chilly overnight, but pleasantly mild in the daytime sun.

THURSDAY: sunny skies... with only a few clouds over the mountains in the afternoon.
high: 20C (68F)

morning low: 14C (57F)
daytime high: 20C (68F)

MONDAY: partly cloudy with a risk of a shower passing through.
morning low: 14C (57F)
daytime high: 19C (67F)
