Sunday's stats:
Low temp: 57.7F (14.3C)
High temp: 77.9F (25.5C)
Rainfall since 6:30am: 0.04" (1mm)
24 hour rainfall: 1.94" (4.9cm)
It's a good-looking evening out there, with only a few clouds lingering as the sun heads toward the horizon. Our Sunday turned out much better than it looked like it might -- considering what was happening during the early morning hours. Light rain showers moved off quickly to the east, with some back-and-forth between clouds and sun during the morning hours, but then mostly sunny skies throughout the afternoon. New thundershower development today occurred both to our northwest, and also to the southeast, but we were spared. Humidity today has remained very close to 60%.
It was a nice treat to end up in a little bubble of stability for most of today. Though there's plenty of moisture in this air mass, the disparity between temperatures in different layers of the atmosphere was quelled in the wake of the heavy rain and thunder very early this morning. BUT -- instability will be building up again, with a good chance of some thundershower development once again during the coming 24 to 48 hours. There will also continue to be periods of sunshine which will make it feel warmer than the thermometer would indicate, due to the rising humidity levels.
Things are still looking particularly unstable and ominous and very wet during the Wednesday-Thursday period, as advancing moisture from the southeast meets up with a rather strong upper-level system and cooler air aloft coming in from the northwest. But then -- this first surge of tropical moisture will retreat, leaving us with what could be a very pleasant few days over the weekend into early next week.
It's the summer solstice, by the way..... which means the longest day of the year. Check out tabs above for forecast details and other info.
