Sunday's stats:
Low temp: 61.3F (16.3C)
High temp: 72.8F (22.7C)
Rainfall: none
We have nice evening sunshine and pleasant temperatures in progress at the moment, with only a few scattered clouds around. This morning's cloudiness was very sluggish to clear, and never did really allow the sun to take over completely -- and that kept our temps a bit below expectations for the second day in a row. Still, we have to call it comfortably warm, even if we remain quite a bit cooler than normal for the middle of May. Today was the fifth day in a row without any rain at all, and believe it or not, that's the first time I've recorded a dry streak like this since way back in mid-February!
A stationary upper-level disturbance and circulation continues to weaken over Afghanistan, as a rather tepid high pressure ridge sprawls across northwest India. This pattern is an uneventful one for us, really, keeping us from busting into any kind of a seasonable heat wave, but also keeping the instability factor under control. That's producing this mixture of clouds and sun, pleasant temps, and only a couple of very random mainly PM showers in the higher mountains.
There are no dramatic changes on the charts for us during the coming several days, though our upper-level flow is going to turn from the south-southwest to more of a west-northwesterly direction. We still can't rule out an isolated thundershower at some point, but any rainfall amounts should be fairly light this week. Computer models continue to show a warming trend, but I'll be very surprised if we can ever get even as high as 80F, which is still slightly below normal for this time of year.
