Friday's stats:
Low temp: 64.8F (18.2C)
High temp: 70.3F (21.3C)
Rainfall: 2.69" (6.8cm) -- updated @ 7:45pm
We've got it all this evening... a gorgeous, vivid rainbow in the eastern sky, glimpses of the setting sun in the west, a predominance of clouds, and a few sprinkles of rain. All of this at the end of another day featuring very heavy rainfall. It came in two or three distinct doses during the afternoon and early evening hours, causing more localized flooding around the area. There were also some fleeting peeks of sun in the midst of it all.
The last few days of July and this first half of August have been incredibly wet, with staggering rainfall amounts over the course of the past 16-17 days or so. We're already within striking distance of the normal amount of rain for the entire month of August, and it's not even half-way over!! Remember to keep track of the details on MONSOON 2015: RAINFALL TALLY on the tab at the top of the page, if you're interested.
Although there will continue to be some sporadic periods of drier weather here and there, with the occasional sunny break, periods of moderate to heavy rain should continue to plague us through the weekend and even through most of next week. I've been keeping a close eye on the extended range data which keeps indicating a marked retreat of deep tropical moisture during the final several days of the month. It most likely won't be a permanent end to this year's monsoon, but it could be the first signs of improving conditions over the course of the coming five to six weeks.
