Sunday's stats:
Low temp: 63.3F (17.4C)
High temp: 71.4F (21.9C)
Rainfall: 0.20" (5mm)
There's a mix of clouds, light fog and some sunshine this evening, and I've actually been surprised at the amount of fog we've had today. Rain showers, on the other hand, were nearly nonexistent until about 4:30pm -- but there have been several brief light to moderate showers since then. I'll be checking the rain gauge later this evening, but as of now, it seems that we may have our smallest daily total in more than a week. There were some glimpses of sunshine during the first half of the day (and again just now), but not enough to get all that excited about.
As we've been talking about recently, rainfall totals the last two or three days have been much lower than we were experiencing for several days previous to that, and it will be interesting to see how long this general ebb in monsoon wetness will continue. The various computer model solutions are almost laughable in their failure to come to any sort of a decisive solution or agreement on what's going to unfold between now and the middle of this week. However, some of the most reliable parameters available are pointing to a resurgence of deeper tropical moisture on the way as early as tomorrow (Mon) night, with the atmospheric moisture content expected to increase steadily as we head through the week. One model is projecting some very heavy rainfall right on top of us during the Wednesday through Saturday period.
When all the stats are tabulated, the 20th of July through the 20th of August usually turns out to be the very peak of the monsoon season each year, when we end up getting the heaviest rains and most persistent saturated/foggy conditions. Here we go -- let's see what 2014 will bring...
