Saturday's stats:
Low temp: 57.4F (14.1C)
High temp: 69.2F (20.7C)
Rainfall: none
It's mostly clear late this evening. We've had a good Saturday all around, with pretty much unlimited sunshine this morning giving way to slow cloud develpment over the mountains by the early afternoon. There was a couple of hours period of mostly cloudy skies during the latter part of the afternoon, but those clouds disappeared quickly before sunset. Temperatures have been seasonably comfortable, as humidity hovers around 55%.
The next weather event on the horizon is an upper-level disturbance and circulation center which will be approaching from the west-northwest by Sunday night. Models are forecasting a variety of solutions, with some just delivering a glancing blow of a quick period or two of mainly light showers, and another scenario in which we could get hammered pretty hard with some heavy showers and thunderstorms, mainly on Monday. At any rate, I think it's best to be braced for precipitation potential between very late Sunday night and Tuesday afternoon... though it won't rain that entire time.
A return to nice and quiet and calm conditions is expected by Tuesday night -- remaining with us through the week. Temps will cool down further, but still nothing at all out of the ordinary for this stage of October.
