Saturday's stats:
Low temp: 43.7ºF (6.5ºC)
High temp: 58.3ºF (14.6ºC)
Precipitation: 0.01" (less than 1mm)
Full sunshine during the early and mid-morning gradually gave way to partly cloudy skies during the late morning -- with the temp at my location in the upper part of town climbing to the highest I've recorded since a very brief spell of mild weather on the 13th of Feb. But then there was some rogue thundershower development which produced a rain shower with some very small hail during the mid-afternoon. All of that action quickly dissipated though, with mostly clear skies again by the evening.
We're still poised for the mildest/warmest day of the season and the year tomorrow, Sunday, Uprising Day. Warming throughout all layers of the atmosphere, along with a minimal amount of moisture availability, will provide us with a good amount of sunshine and only the slightest risk of a brief afternoon shower.
A destabilizing atmosphere is on the way again by the middle of Monday, however, with a good chance of a few periods of rain and thunderstorms lasting into Tuesday. And unfortunately, the models have been trending toward a variably cloudy and off-and-on showery/thundery pattern through most of next week. The good news is that our temperatures should bounce back nicely whenever the sun peeks through. More incremental hints of spring.
