Monday's stats:
Low temp: 39.9ºF (4.4ºC)
High temp: 53.8ºF (12.1ºC)
Precipitation: 0.40" (1cm) -- updated thru midnight
A batch of thundershowers developed just to our southwest this evening, and has been hanging overhead for a couple of hours now. We also had a couple of periods of showers early this morning, and some rumbling thunder during the mid-afternoon. But in addition to all that, there was also a good amount of sunshine in the midst of the cloudiness today, which boosted the high temp on my thermometer a few degrees higher than expected right around the noon hour.
A sprawling and expansive area of low pressure and very cold air aloft is keeping our atmosphere very unstable -- especially with the increasing strength of our early March sunshine warming up the surface layers during the daylight hours. We are now into the time of year when lingering winter elements are battling against the advance of springtime air building further south across the Indian sub-continent. There are several opportunities for some scattered showers to develop during the coming week, but at the same time, it looks like there will be a slow/gradual moderation in temperatures.
It still appears that we could see some fairly significant movement toward generally drier and warmer weather as we move into the middle of the month. Let's hope that pans out.
