It's partly cloudy early on this Sunday morning, with a humidity reading of 87%. I'm recording an overnight low of 62.2F (16.8C), and the rain gauge is showing 0.07" (2mm) since I last checked it. I think that's left over from the random light showers received last evening. Check the UPDATED RAINFALL TALLY (above) if you're interested in detailed rainfall info for this monsoon season.
We've got a mixed bag of weather conditions in store during this new week. On one hand, our atmosphere has stabilized considerably during the past 12-24 hours or so. On the other hand, there is still plenty of lingering moisture in the air that can easily be condensed into significant cloudiness and fog by the mid-day and afternoon hours, here along our mountain slopes. There is a also a good chance of some random and widely scattered shower/thunder development during the afternoon hours. But all in all, things should balance out considerably more pleasant than what we dealt with for several days in a row during the past week.
Extended range computer models are looking remarkably tame and even dull as we look ahead through the middle one-third of September. Right now it appears that we may revert to something similar to what we experienced during much of the latter half of August -- a mix of sun, clouds and fog, with some isolated mainly PM thundershower action. Maybe we won't see another huge blast of monsoon nastiness this year?? No guarantees on that yet...
