Tuesday's stats:
Low temp: 51.3ºF (10.7ºC)
High temp: 64.1ºF (17.8ºC)
Precipitation: none
There was a greater percentage of sunshine today than expected (no complaints), and that allowed temperatures to end up a bit warmer than expected as well. I've now recorded four days in a row with temps above 60ºF (16ºC), and I think we'd all agree that it's been much more pleasant and comfortable.
A rather intense storm system is centered over south-central Turkmenistan this evening, and will be weakening as it pushes east-northeastward during the coming 48hrs or so. Models had been showing some thundershower development in our vicinity to be starting by now, but the latest data indicates that will be holding off until after midnight, at least. If and when we do get those thundershowers, temperatures will fall significantly, erasing the gains we've enjoyed the last few days. That risk of precipitation will be around tomorrow (Wed) and tomorrow night -- and possibly even into Thursday, which is Holi, and also the official first day of Spring.
But rebounding temps are in the forecast through the weekend into early next week..
