Sunday's stats:
Low temp: 64.6F (18.1C)
High temp: 68.1F (20.1C)
Rainfall since 6:20am: 0.17" (4mm)
24-hour rainfall: 0.80" (2.0cm)
It's still gloomy out there this evening, with our humidity remaining very close to 100%, which has been the case for days in a row now. We seem to be in a pattern of getting very heavy rainfall every other day, with only light to moderate amounts on the off day. Today was one of the off days, with just less than one inch of rain during the past 24 hours. Still, it's been cloudy and foggy with plenty of periods of drizzle and light rain to deal with.
Computer model projections have been teasing us with some kind of a decrease in the moisture content of our air mass for several days now -- like a carrot dangling just a little way down the road. But none of that has even remotely materialized as of yet. We remain saturated and socked in with deep and juicy tropical moisture, with no evidence of the brief respite being advertised. I still think there's a chance of some kind of "mini-break" during the coming two or three days, but at this point, I wouldn't bet much on it. Let's see if we can get at least a few glimpses of sunshine, along with a slight drop in humidity sometime before late Wednesday rolls around.
Looking further ahead, right now it appears that even if we do get a little break in the action, the deeper moisture will be back by Thursday into the weekend. But honestly, this is just the way things usually are as we push into mid-August, so the best course of action is to embrace and accept it!!
