Thursday's stats:
Low temp: 49.3F (9.6C)
High temp: 62.2F (16.8C)
Rainfall since midnight: 0.03" (1mm)
Skies are partly cloudy at sunset this evening, and we've actually had a really nice late afternoon and early evening. Rain showers today were confined to the early morning hours, with sunshine appearing just after 11:00am -- sharing the sky with occasional clouds during the rest of the day. We did have some very strong and gusty winds at times between the late morning and the mid-afternoon. Temperatures made a modest recovery this afternoon, after starting off very chilly (and way below the norm for April) during showers around sunrise.
The sunshine this afternoon made it tempting to think we may be in for some improvement in our weather scenario in the coming days, but that is not the case. This has been only a break in the action, with the strongest of our recent parade of disturbances expected to affect us tomorrow and Saturday. In fact, there is already some redevelopment of showers and thundershowers occurring to our west over Pakistan, with a better chance of some significant showers and perhaps even a strong thunderstorm or two between tomorrow afternoon and Saturday evening. If you have outdoor and/or travel plans the next couple of days, be sure to be prepared for sudden and potentially dramatic changes. With rain chances continuing, temperatures will be hard pressed to warm up very much.
There have been consistent indications of a shift in the overall weather pattern starting on Easter Sunday. It still looks like the risk of rain will drop and temperatures rise during the first half of the week (and possibly longer), with a good shot at seeing the warmest temps of the season by Monday or Tuesday.
