Friday's stats:
Low temp: 63.5F (17.5C)
High temp: 69.3F (20.7C)
Rainfall since midnight: 0.68" (1.7cm)
The fog thickened up again late this afternoon, after being chased away for several hours after the rain early this morning. We never got any sun today, but the humidity did drop a bit during the mid-morning into the mid-afternoon -- to around 90%. Temperatures continue to move very little throughout the course of the day.
Most of the rain during the past three or four days has occurred during the overnight hours, with only some occasional drizzle and light showers during the daytime. We'll see if that pattern repeats itself tonight, since the air is stuffed full of moisture and will eventually be released in one way or another. Our rainfall rates haven't been excessive since Tuesday night, but we're still getting healthy 24-hour doses which are keeping our August daily average very close to 2". That average will start edging downward, though, if we don't get some heavier totals in the next couple of days.
There's still very little day-to-day variation in the atmospheric profiles, according to upper-air data and computer model output. That means we will continue to contend with a saturated mid-monsoon air mass that is capable of unleashing heavy downpours with little advance warning. I'd love to say that there is some kind of significant change on the horizon, but that's not the case just yet.
