Sunday's stats:
Low temp: 64.8F (18.2C)
High temp: 80.0F (26.7C)
Rainfall: none
It's partly cloudy and comfortably warm this evening before sunset, at the end of the warmest day since the 2nd of May -- more than three weeks ago. Although we did have quite a bit of cloud development starting during the late morning, it never really put that much of a damper on the sunshine, and there was never any shower or thunder development in our immediate area. All in all, fantastic late May conditions.
Satellite pics this evening show a surprisingly large amount of shower/thunder action from northern Pakistan into northern India -- but the relatively dry air mass in place seems to be keeping most of the rainfall on the light side. This activity scattered around us is evidence of the presence of a few weak disturbances and circulations in the upper atmosphere which are drifting through. We could still fall victim to a round of thundershowers between tonight and Tuesday, so don't be terribly surprised if something pops up at some point.
Otherwise, the main event of the week will be a strong ridge of summertime high pressure which will continue to build east-northeastward from the Arabian Sea into westcentral India. Our temperatures today are a taste of what's to come as we make our move toward the May/June transition, and it looks like we'll end up hitting seasonal norms for a change... as early as Thursday or Friday.
