Monday's stats:
Low temp: 61.2F (16.2C)
High temp: 75.2F (24.0C)
Rainfall: none
It's partly cloudy this evening as the sun sinks toward the western horizon, and for most of the day it's been partly cloudy, actually. We started out with full sunshine this morning, but clouds developed in the vicinity of the mountains well before noon and challenged the sun from then on. Temperatures were a bit warmer today, but we're still running several degrees below normal for the season.
We've now logged the sixth day in a row without even a drop of rain -- this time of year that shouldn't be such a big deal, but considering the consistently wet spring and early summer we've endured, it is. Our atmosphere has been moderately unstable recently, and should remain so for the next several days as well, but that instability coupled with the southwesterly flow aloft has kept any mountain thundershower development to our north and east. We still have to keep in mind the off-chance of a mainly PM shower or thundershower somewhere around the area, but right now it seems that this dry streak could continue for a few more days.
This mid-May air mass shows signs of warming further as the week progresses, but I'm still doubtful that we'll be able to make it up to where we should be for high temps -- around 83F/28C. There does appear to be a slightly better chance of some scattered showers and thundershowers as the weekend approaches, so we'll have to watch how that develops.
The CURRENT FORECAST tab above has all the details.
