Monday's stats:
Low temp: 59.5F (15.3C)
High temp: 77.1F (25.1C)
Rainfall: none
It's now ten days in a row without measurable rainfall, and the sixth day in a row of high temps exceeding 70ºF/21ºC. In fact, today's high at my location in the upper part of town is the warmest of the season and the year, and more in line with a normal/average high temp for about the 22nd of April. Again there was abundant sunshine today, though cumulus development over the mountains during the afternoon was a little more pronounced than it was yesterday.
This much warmer than normal weather is going to stick with us for a few more days, with temps possibly rising a bit further between tomorrow (Tues) and Thursday or Friday. The first signs of instability will be returning though, as we head into the latter part of the week, and that means we could be dealing with at least a slight chance of some mainly PM shower/thunder development somewhere around the area -- starting on Wednesday, but then there's an even better chance over the weekend. Temps will probably start to dip a few degrees by Saturday, just in time for the arrival of the new month.
I don't like what I am seeing on extended range computer models... with a very disturbed pattern evolving across the western Himalayas during the first week to ten days of April. We could have a couple of periods of significant rain and thunderstorms during that period, along with temperatures falling back below normal for the season. Even when the weather gets as nice as it's been recently, there are absolutely no guarantees in this part of the world...
