We're in the midst of a partly cloudy and pleasantly mild evening, after another day that transitioned back and forth between sunshine and clouds. Our period of thunder and light showers during the mid-day failed to deliver anything measurable in my rain gauge in the upper part of town, which was nice for those out and about on this Sunday. I recorded a high temp of 68.7F (20.4C), which remains close to 10F (5C) cooler than average for the end of April.
Our volume of rainfall has eased considerably the last couple of days, but we're still obviously in an unsettled situation, with scattered showers and thunderstorms never too far away. There will be a couple of more upper-level disturbances between tonight and Tuesday, which will keep the thundershower risk greater than 50/50, and also keep our temperatures from being able to warm up very much. Although we haven't seen more than light rainfall amounts since late Thursday night... don't be surprised if we get slammed again sometime during the coming 36-48 hours or so.
Starting on Wednesday, I am cautiously optimistic that the atmosphere will begin to stabilize, allowing us decreasing chances of rain (except for perhaps the isolated mountain thunder action during the late PM). Temperatures should also be on a gradual upward trend during the first few days of the new month.
