There are many patches of mid- and high cloudiness across the area at sunrise this morning, with a temperature of 54.5F (12.5C). My overnight low temp here in the upper part of town was a mild 53.1F (11.7C), and though there may have been a few random light sprinkles or a light shower somewhere in the vicinity, my rain gauge shows nothing measurable. The humidity this morning is 39%.
We are stuck in a rut with this weather pattern right now -- and it doesn't look like we'll see any major shake-ups until perhaps early next week. The upper-level low pressure circulation which has been spinning around over Turkmenistan/Uzbekistan for the past several days is still there, and will only slowly weaken and begin to lift off to the northeast by the time the weekend arrives. This upper-level feature is keeping a west-southwesterly flow firmly established from the Persian Gulf all the way across northern India, which is transporting disturbance after disturbance along its track. With a moderate amount of moisture in place, we'll see more back-and-forth between sun and clouds... and the risk of some isolated/random shower or thundershower development remains possible. It's still looking like we could see a another period of more significant rainfall sometime between Thursday night and early Saturday.
As we saw yesterday, this air mass is capable of delivering some pleasant temperatures as long as we can get the sun to cooperate -- but several hours of clouds will put a damper on upward thermometer movement. At the end of March our average high temperature is very close to 70F (21C) -- but we've yet to reach that level this season, and probably won't until after April arrives.
