Wednesday's stats:
Low temp: 60.1F (15.6C)
High temp: 75.6F (24.2C)
Rainfall: none
We're in the midst of a quiet and pleasant evening, with partly cloudy skies across the area. There was some fairly healthy cumulus development over the mountains this afternoon, along with a couple of isolated thundershowers further to our north and east, otherwise the sun has been firmly in control. Our temperatures were comfortably warm -- but still running several degrees cooler than normal for the season.
Seven of the past eight days have been totally dry in McLeod, thanks to a weather pattern that continues to be rather apathetic for the season. We're still not getting much of a taste of hot summertime conditions which are usually common by the latter half of May, but neither have we had much rainfall during the past week or more (with the exception of yesterday evening's thundershower). It seems we've spent much of this spring/summer season in a strange limbo state.
The upper-level pattern is in a readjustment phase right now, as some energy tries to get organized to our west and northwest for the weekend. This evening's data looks a bit less robust with regard to shower/thunder development between Friday and Monday, but we should still be prepared for a better chance of some occasionally rainy weather during that time frame. Temperatures should remain in the below normal range -- though this time of year that is actually rather good news.
