Saturday's stats:
Low temp: 64.0F (17.8C)
High temp: 69.0F (20.6C)
Rainfall since 6:15am: 2.92" (7.4cm)
24-hour rainfall: 3.63" (9.2cm)
Those rainfall numbers (above) are fairly impressive, are they not? And the even more impressive fact is that the vast majority of that 24-hour total occurred between roughly 7:30 and 10:30am. Yes, it was an extremely wet Saturday morning around here... keeping a lot of people in bed, I'm sure.
We still have thick clouds and fog just before sunset this evening, though there's been only a bit of very light drizzle in the air throughout the afternoon and early evening.
It's looking like we could have another episode of moderate to heavy rainfall overnight into early Sunday morning -- before some slightly drier air tries to work its way in from the west for a couple of days. I am not feeling very confident about a significant 'drying out' scenario for us, but there are still hints that the average moisture content of our air mass may decrease a bit between mid-day Sunday and mid-day Tuesday. Let's see if we get any tangible results from that. Unfortunately, very deep moisture will surge in again by Tuesday night, and be entrenched through at least Thursday night of next week. Any brighter/drier hours will be short-lived, as a noteworthy and longer lasting retreat of genuine tropical moisture is not going to happen anytime soon...
