Sunday's stats:
Low temp: 47.8ºF (8.8ºC)
High temp: 60.9ºF (16.1ºC)
Precipitation: none
We fell short, by less than one degree fahrenheit (and just a fraction of a degree celsius), of the warmest day of 2019... but it was not only the second-warmest day of the year, but also the second-warmest since about the middle of December. Abundant sunshine during the morning gave way to quite a lot of cloud development by around 1:30-2:00pm, which lingered through the rest of the afternoon into the evening. Skies have cleared out again with stars appearing after dark, however.
A well-defined storm system is visible on this evening's satellite pics, centered along the Iran/Afghanistan border. This system is going to bring increasing chances of showers and thunderstorms into our area by mid-day Monday, with the best rain potential between late afternoon and very early Tuesday morning. With clouds and showers, of course our temperatures will be cooling off again.
The risk of showers will decrease a bit, temporarily, from late Tuesday through Wednesday, but then we'll have an increasing chance of rain/thunder Wednesday night into early Friday. And at least as of right now, drier weather and milder temps are teasing us as next weekend approaches.
