Skies are clear again early this morning... with the sun now peeking over the mountains. I've recorded an overnight low temp of 60.1F (15.6C), which is the warmest since last Wednesday. There has been no rainfall during the past 24 hours.
We are on track to get back into a more normal weather mode for this time of the year. Temperatures continue to warm in all levels of the atmosphere... and especially the warming in the upper-levels is what should contribute to a more stable air mass during the next several days. The exception, of course, is the risk of a thundershower developing over the mountains during the afternoon hours. I think it's very likely we'll see that happen... if not today, then on one or two afternoons as we head into the weekend. Enjoy the fantastic May sunshine and warmth... but be prepared for a sudden turn of events if you're heading upward.
A ridge of high pressure is going to allow temperatures to rise rather dramatically by Sunday and Monday, which will take us a bit above normal for early May. Could it be that summer is coming?
