*Update @ 8:25pm... I'm now measuring 1.81" (4.6cm) of rain since 6am this morning, which brings us up to 3.47" (8.8cm) in the past 24 hours.
------------------------------------------------------------
Tuesday's stats:
Low temp: 66.4F (19.1C)
High temp: 70.3F (21.3C)
Rainfall since 6am: 1.64" (4.2cm)
Rainfall past 24 hours: 3.30" (8.4cm)
Healthy monsoon conditions have developed again across our area during the past 36 hours or so, bringing heavy rainfall after a respite of a few days. The July rainfall tally has been lagging a bit until recently -- but it looks like we'll be catching up during the coming several days.
It is cloudy and foggy just before dark this evening, with just a few light showers at the moment, but we had some heavy rain during the mid-afternoon that brought more than an inch in about an hour's time. All in all, it has been a very typical mid-July, mid-monsoon kind of day around here. As you can see from the stats above, temperatures barely moved all day, thanks to the clouds, fog, rain and lack of sunshine.
Our air mass should remain absolutely saturated for the remainder of the week, and computer models are hinting at some periods of very heavy rainfall, with the most ominous time period on Friday into Saturday. We are getting into the very heart of the monsoon season now, which means rainfall averaging around 1.5" (3.8cm) per day is not at all out of the ordinary.
Although it's almost unbearably repetitive, your CURRENT FORECAST can be found on the tab at the top of the page.
