Saturday's stats:
Low temp: 61.7F (16.5C)
High temp: 75.9F (24.4C)
Rainfall: trace
There are some dying thundershowers visible way off to the east, otherwise our skies are mostly clear as the sun sinks toward the western horizon this evening. Today turned out almost exactly according to plan, with lots of sunshine, a mid-day build-up of clouds leading to some isolated showers/thunder during the early to mid-afternoon hours, and high temps close to 76F/24.5C. Although it looked a bit ominous for an hour or two during the early afternoon, the rain was barely enough to wet the ground.
Our upper-level flow is from the west right now, and will tilt more toward the northwest during the coming few days. This kind of pattern is a generally uneventful one for us, especially when combined with an atmosphere that is not holding very much moisture. However, there will be some random minor disturbances/circulations embedded in that flow which could ignite a round of thundershowers on any given day -- especially between the afternoon and early evening hours. Be aware of that continuing risk in the midst of the otherwise mostly sunny and pleasantly warm conditions.
A little further into the future there are some interesting developments taking place -- in the form of a massive summertime ridge of high pressure which is being projected to gradually expand from the Arabian Peninsula and the northern Arabian Sea into westcentral and northwest India during the middle and latter parts of the coming week. We'll have to watch this as the days unfold, but if it turns out to be for real, we're going to be making a quantum leap into some much warmer temperatures by the time June arrives.
