Thursday's stats:
Low temp: 56.5F (13.6C)
High temp: 71.9F (22.2C)
Rainfall: none
One of the more clear and quiet evenings of this month is in progress, with very few lingering clouds around the area just before sunset. It has been a beautiful day for the most part, with mid-day cloud development over the mountains leading to just a brief rumble of thunder shortly before 2:30pm, and then lots of sun returning for the latter half of the afternoon. My high temp (above) was the warmest I've recorded since last Saturday -- though still well below normal for this time of year.
Our weather situation for the coming several days is not a totally uneventful one, but at least there are no really significant storm systems on the horizon. Uniform warming is already underway, and will continue pretty much unabated into the weekend -- eventually taking us within striking distance of seasonal norms. However, there will be a weak upper-level system approaching from the west by Sunday, and that will provide us with enough instability to be concerned about the development of a few showers and/or thundershowers starting on Saturday afternoon. I've been combing through each and every new set of data the last couple of days, hoping this system doesn't turn into something more ominous, but it still looks like it won't be anything nearly as disruptive as our storm system earlier this week.
Further ahead, it doesn't look like we're going to break into a particularly hot stretch of weather, though it is nearly the time of year for that to happen. We'll be dealing with daily mountain instability issues, along with a mix of clouds and sun and temps warm, but a bit below normal as next week unfolds.
