Friday's stats:
Low temp: 63.4F (17.4C)
High temp: 70.0F (21.1C)
Rainfall since midnight: 0.52" (1.3cm)
We're wrapping up yet another sub-par day in terms of rainfall here in the immediate McLeod area. Despite dumpings of heavy rain which have been occurring in almost all directions around us since Wednesday, we've really missed out. Things usually balance out in the long run.... but we are definitely way overdue for a major downpour.
As sunset approaches, our skies are mostly cloudy, with some patches of thick fog drifting around, along with a couple of random sprinkles of rain. Most of the rainfall since midnight occurred during the pre-dawn hours, with very little measurable rain after about 10:30 or 11:00am. We even had some sunshine which broke out a bit during the early afternoon.
There have been too many times to mention that we've received an extended period of heavy rain just when I was on the brink of giving up on it. That may be the case later tonight into Saturday, as we're still dealing with an atmosphere that could trigger that kind of scenario anywhere, anytime, here along the front slopes of the mountains.
A pattern shift is scheduled -- starting on Sunday, which could give us at least a couple of days with unusually low humidity for mid-August, along with rain chances confined to afternoon mountain thundershower development.
