Not a very lovely morning... it's cloudy at sunrise, and there are some light rain showers in the vicinity. My low temperature has occurred just in the past few minutes -- 49.6F (9.8C) -- which is of course way too chilly for this time of the year. The rain gauge shows another 0.03" (1mm) courtesy of these early morning showers, bringing the total to 0.12" (3mm) during the past 24 hours. The current humidity reading is 71%.
This latest complex series of upper-level disturbances seems to be making the most of the ingredients it has to work with -- providing us with plenty of cloudiness and occasional light rain showers since mid-day yesterday. It's a bit difficult to muster up enough moisture to produce heavy rainfall amounts in April, but it's looking like an even stronger disturbance in this series will sweep through here between Friday afternoon and Saturday evening, giving us a better chance of more substantial shower and thunderstorm action. Although there should be some periods of sun in the midst of these clouds and showers the next few days, it's probably not going to be sufficient to allow our temperatures to rebound for long. We'll be languishing in this well-below-normal range again through Saturday.
A positive-looking shift in the overall weather pattern is forecast to get underway on Easter Sunday, however. Rain chances should quickly diminish, with a turn to brighter skies and much warmer temperatures for the first half of next week.
