Saturday's stats:
Low temp: 68.0F (20.0C)
High temp: 75.7F (24.3C)
Rainfall: trace -- as of 4:30pm
It's quite hazy this evening, with a few breaks in the overcast. Our atmosphere has been a bit more murky today, with thicker clouds and even some fleeting periods of fog from late morning into mid-day -- and that's thanks to humidity readings which averaged close to 70-75%. Despite that higher moisture content, we only had a few sprinkles and brief light rain showers today (along with a bit of rumbling thunder during the mid-afternoon) which didn't register a measurement in my rain gauge in the upper part of town. Our high temp was not as warm as expected, due to the very limited sunshine.
Well, it's been fairly obvious today that the moisture content of our air mass is on the increase, but this is only the very beginning of what we can expect before Tuesday or Wednesday rolls around. The month of July has been a piece of cake so far, in terms of having to deal with genuine monsoon conditions, but it still looks like we're going to be in for a dose of reality fairly soon. There are some bizarre and strange discrepancies between the various computer models' resolutions -- with some indicating heavy rainfall developing in the next 24 hours or so, and others continuing to delay the real action until as late as Tuesday evening. It will be interesting to watch.
The average rainfall for the month of July is well over 30" (76cm), and as we approach mid-month, we are running very far behind the pace. You can keep track of the UPDATED RAINFALL TALLY on the tab above.
