fickle/changeable pattern... (pm.11.mar.19)>

Monday's stats:

Low temp: 41.7ºF (5.4ºC) -- at 2:45pm
High temp: 51.6ºF (10.9ºC) -- at 10:20am
Precipitation: 0.29" (7mm)

It's been an upside/down kind of day (see stats above) -- I recorded the day's high temperature during the mid-morning, with the low temp occurring during a period of moderate rain showers during the mid-afternoon.  Those rain showers got going pretty much according to expectations, but things have cleared out already this evening.

This recent storm system has really picked up the pace, and seems to be moving out much earlier than expected.  There could still be some rain and/or thundershower development overnight and tomorrow (Tuesday), but the upper-level low pressure center is weakening rapidly and lifting northward, and should allow some stabilization to occur between now and late Wednesday.  Yet another storm system moving in from the west will increase our rain chances again between Wednesday evening and early Friday... so we're going to be dealing with a lot of back-and-forth stuff in the coming days.

But in the long run, you can see on THE 7-DAY OUTLOOK that our overall temperature trend will be upward during the coming week...
