Clouds are thick and heavy at the time of this morning's posting, and there was a brief, very light shower here just after 7:00am. We escaped most of the heavier thundershower activity last evening, for a change. I've only recorded 0.01" (less than 1mm) of rain during the past 24 hours, and my overnight low temp has been 57.0F (13.9C).
I'm wondering how much sunshine we'll be able to come up with today, and tomorrow for that matter. Our late April atmosphere remains unusually disturbed as a continuous stream of upper-level systems tracks from west-to-east across north India. Meanwhile, seasonably warm air remains encamped just down the hill to our south on the plains... which provides fuel for instability as these disturbances move overhead. All of this means that we are going to be flirting with occasional showers and thunderstorms through the weekend, and probably into Monday and Tuesday of next week as well. Of course it won't rain continuously, and with any luck, we'll get a few hours of sunshine in between periods of action. Just be watchful and prepared for sudden changes.
Our temperatures have slipped below normal the last couple of days... and it looks like we'll stay there until this weather pattern starts to stabilize again during the first few days of May. The very warm air is not far away at all... and will be able to quickly surge back northward as soon as things calm down.
