Thursday's stats:
Low temp: 62.8F (17.1C)
High temp: 65.5F (18.6C)
Rainfall since midnight: 1.98" (5.0cm) -- updated @ 7:45pm
It's a shock to look out the window and see no rain falling -- for the moment. The rain has been persistent nearly all day, and we've even had a couple of periods when the intensity was heavier, mainly between mid-morning and early afternoon. The total since midnight is nearly 2" (5cm) which isn't exactly excessive for this time of year, but healthy enough by mid-August standards. Temperatures have been quite cool again today -- not budging much above 65F/18C.
We've definitely been in the "zone" recently, as we begin moving into the latter half of a month that is on track to finish with well above normal amounts of rainfall, unless something dramatic happens. Computer models the last several days have been generally under-forecasting rain amounts, as opposed to the over-forecasting which was going on earlier -- especially during the latter part of July. Check the MONSOON 2013 RAINFALL tab (above) if you're interested in rainfall tally specifics.
It's hard to believe that these more widespread, persistent rains are going to keep on keepin' on... but there is really not that much of a significant retreat of monsoon moisture on the horizon through the weekend. There had been hints of some drying of the atmosphere early next week, but it's not looking so promising now, according to the latest data.
