Monday's stats:
Low temp: 55.9F (13.3C)
High temp: 70.6F (21.4C)
Rainfall: none
We've had a notable increase in high cloudiness this evening, otherwise the day has been mostly sunny. I recorded the warmest temperature of 2014 (by a hair) at my location in the upper part of town, and it definitely felt that way during most of the morning into the mid-afternoon. It was really great to get a day squarely in the middle of the comfort zone.
Our atmosphere continues its transition into the most seasonable-looking pattern that we've seen this spring/early summer, with uniform warming occurring from the surface into the highest levels. The warming has been so rapid in layers above 17,000ft (5100m) that we're starting to see some extensive high cloud development just to our west. With a weak ripple of energy moving through aloft, we may have to contend with more high cloudiness during the next 24 hours or so than we've seen in the last couple of days. There will also be the off chance of a random shower at some point, though that potential is most ripe in the mountains to our north and east.
The rest of the week will feature a mixture of sunshine, occasional clouds, and that mentionable risk of a mountain shower mainly during the afternoon hours. Otherwise, we are on track to see our temperatures moderate further by Friday and Saturday -- taking us warmer than it's been around here since last September.
