highs for the year... (am.07.jun.14)>

It's sunny and bright again this morning, after another quiet and warm night.  I've recorded an overnight low temp of 73.0F (22.8C) which is (surprise, surprise) the warmest 24 hour minimum temperature of the season and the year.  There's been no rainfall since last report, and the humidity reading is a low 29%.

We've now had five days in a row of sunshine, steadily climbing temperatures, and not one drop of rain.  A giant ridge of summertime high pressure in place from Arabia into south Asia is responsible for this -- and there will be only slight adjustments to its positioning during the next several days to one week or so.  In the short term, we do have a very minor ripple of energy moving in aloft from the west, and that will provide us with at least a slight chance of a random thundershower somewhere around the area this afternoon and/or evening.  But then it looks like we'll return to near total stability by tomorrow (Sun).  After that, it may be the very end of next week before we have a decent chance of picking up any rain at all.

Temperatures are pretty close to their peak right now -- but it's possible they could rise another degree or two during the coming several days.  It seems unlikely that we'll experience any noteworthy cooling at all, unless we happen to get blessed with a passing thundershower at some point...
