Monday's stats:
Low temp: 45.5F (7.5C)
High temp: 56.3F (13.5C)
Precipitation: none
There is still a good amount of scattered high cloudiness around the area at sunset this evening... at the end of day in which sunshine and clouds were in constant competition. The warmth of the late winter sun was enough, however, to deliver a temperature this afternoon at my location in the upper part of town to match the warmest of this entire month of February. A temp of 56.3F (13.5C) also occurred back on Sunday, the 2nd of Feb. That's still a few degrees cooler than it should be this time of year, but it's progress for us, considering what a chilly month it has been.
A weak high pressure ridge over northern India hasn't been strong enough to squash the occasional cloud development, but has also allowed some nice sunshine to aid in the modest warm-up of our air mass. We'll be under the influence of this high pressure again tomorrow, but will still be subject to a period or two of high clouds. It may even be a degree or two milder tomorrow. By Wednesday some cooler air in the upper-atmosphere will begin to appear, along with an increasingly disturbed upper-air pattern as well.
It will take until late Wednesday night or Thursday to get the right combination of moisture and dynamic energy aloft to bring in our next good chance of precipitation. Although it's not looking like a particularly heavy rain event, we'll need to be prepared for some off and on periods of rain and possibly even some thundershowers from the wee hours of Thursday morning all the way through Friday into Saturday. Temperatures are going to drop considerably as well... though the rain/snow line should stay above McLeod once again.
