Thursday's stats:
Low temp: 64.8F (18.2C)
High temp: 75.0F (23.9C)
Rainfall: 0.19" (5mm) -- updated @ 8:10pm
We have a mix of clouds, fog and some blue sky out there at sunset this evening. The full sunshine early this morning was deceiving again -- but hopefully most of us are not that gullible. Clouds and fog developed by 10:00am, and played around with peeks of sun until the early afternoon. We had one or two very brief, light showers during that time, but a few short periods of more moderate rain showers (and thunder) came along between roughly 3:30 and 5:30pm -- though you can see from the rainfall stats above that amounts were far less than impressive.
The monsoon is not over, but we've definitely moved in some positive directions during the past ten days, and especially during the last three days or so. Our humidity readings have dropped as low as 65% during the mid- to late morning hours, but with a few hours of sunshine, the evaporation process has allowed plenty of clouds/fog to develop, leading to these random to widely scattered showers/thundershowers around the area. It seems that there may be a little more of an uptick in the moisture content of our atmosphere over the weekend, which may mean a few more subtantial downpours of rain -- which could occur either day or night.
Beyond that, the first week to ten days of September are still not looking all that bad -- considering the fact that the normal/average date of monsoon departure isn't until around the 17th or so. Remember that we can easily get lulled into thinking it's all over, only to be slammed with a couple of days of moderate to heavy rainfall and thick fog. It happens every year!!
