Thursday's stats:
Low temp: 66.0F (18.9C)
High temp: 80.4F (26.9C)
Rainfall: trace
Well it's been another day with bouts of ugly clouds and a considerable amount of thunder -- but only some sprinkles and very light showers to show for it. There were also a few extended periods of nice sunshine thrown into the mix as well. We've had very few totally dry days this June, but we've also had very few days with rainfall above about a quarter of an inch (6mm).
The leading edge of this year's monsoon is hung up across central into extreme northeast India, and has made no further progress the last couple of days. However, all of the models and various data sets are indicating a rather strong north-northwestward surge of deep tropical moisture early next week, which could give us our first taste of monsoon conditions by late Tuesday into Wednesday. The moisture content of our atmosphere will increase dramatically by then -- which is pretty much right on schedule. We hardly ever make it into the final ten days of June without our first preview of what's to come.
In the meantime, we'll have more of this back-and-forth between sun, clouds and roaming thundershowers, with temperatures seasonably warm, as long as we can come up with a few hours of sunshine on any given day.
