It is mostly clear at sunrise on this Monday morning, with 33% humidity. I've recorded a low temp of 54.1F (12.3C) during the past hour, and there has been no rainfall overnight. Up here on Tushita Road below the mountaineering center, I observed just 0.01" (less than 1mm) of rain over the weekend.
Well, April is the second-driest month of the year on average, so it shouldn't be too much of a surprise that the period of disturbed weather we dealt with yesterday was only able to produce such a paltry amount of rainfall. I would have expected something closer to a quarter to a half inch (around 1cm) or so, but I doubt whether there were many people complaining. At any rate, it is looking much brighter and nicer out there this morning, with sunshine and temperatures which are already quickly recovering from yesterday's unseasonable chilliness. Although there could be some high clouds drifting in, and some mountain cumulus (and even thunder?) development during the afternoon hours, both today and Tuesday are looking fine.
Unfortunately, by Wednesday our atmosphere is going to start destabilizing once again, leading to a stretch of disturbed weather which could last all the way through Saturday. It's not going to be continuously cloudy and rainy during that period, but we'll probably see scattered showers and thunderstorms popping up every day, with any further upward temperature movement being hindered because of that. It is past time for us to be pushing into the mid-70s(F)/23-24C, but that's probably not going to happen for at least another week.
