Sunday's stats:
Low temp: 63.0F (17.2C)
High temp: 70.8F (21.6C)
Rainfall since 6:30am: 0.18" (5mm)
Rainfall since midnight: 0.52" (1.3cm)
We have a variety of broken/patchy cloudiness around the area this evening, but it is dry for now. Although there were some fleeting glimpses of sunshine today, it was much less bright than yesterday -- but ironically -- we had much smaller rainfall amounts as well. In fact, if we don't get much more rain before midnight, today will go into the books with the lowest total of the past nine days.
Most of the computer model data is showing us entering another one of these "mini-breaks" between now and Tuesday evening, but once again, I'm not sure if that's going to translate into any kind of substantial improvement in our overall weather scenario. Even if we do get some partial clearing from time to time, there's still a very good chance of occasional rain and thunder development, along with some periods of fog. And THEN -- it's looking like another strong surge of monsoon conditions will be on the way for the latter half of the week. It's almost assured that we'll reach the normal/average rainfall total for the entire month of August (35.8"/90.9cm) before this next weekend arrives.
There are some very hopeful signs on the extended range charts -- indicating the first genuine retreat of tropical moisture by roughly the 24th of August. As I've said before, it won't be permanent, but it could allow us to end the month with a taste of some drier and more pleasant weather.
