Tuesday's stats:
Low temp: 63.7F (17.6C)
High temp: 71.8F (22.1C)
Rainfall: 0.07" (2mm)
There are broken layers of mainly mid- and high clouds across the area this evening, but visibility is quite good at the moment. Although we had a few rain showers this afternoon, today has been the third day in a row of relatively light rainfall totals -- in fact -- the total rain amount since Sunday has been barely three-quarters of an inch (less than 2cm). We also were able to enjoy some sunshine mainly during the morning hours, as has been the case during the last few days.
This latest "mini-break" is turning out to be more substantial than anticipated, which for us here along the rain-soaked mountains has to be classified as good news. There is still evidence of an aggressive return of deep tropical moisture as we head into the latter half of the week, but it's possible that we could get another day or two of tolerable conditions for this mid-monsoon time of the year. Right now the models are highlighting late Thursday through Saturday night or early Sunday for the best chance of an onslaught of very heavy rainfall.
By Monday or Tuesday of next week there looks to be a push of drier air coming in from the west and northwest -- so as of now, we may still be in line for a quieter, drier and more pleasant end to this month of August.
