We Didn't Need It.

Right?  Rain never really showed.  About a third of an inch last night, and I can see breaks in the clouds already this morning.  Main moisture stream is now well south of us, after spending much of yesterday and last night well north of us.  We just got a passing hit.  That is fine.  We are good on water right now, and perhaps this respite will help keep our mountains from liquidating.  I was out walking around Butano SP on Sunday and there are a ton of downed trees in the canyons.  But we are not out of the woods yet.  We still have several more weeks of winter and few more of the rainy season.  Chance of showers continues through tonight, with up to a half inch forecasted by NOAA.  Looking at radar, satellite and out my window, I'm thinking we end up with quite a bit less than that.  Still, carry an umbrella and/or raincoat around with you today.  High of 58F today.

When you learn your friends left the back door open for you.

Tonight stays warm, in the 50F, with light showers.  Thursday begins cloudy, with some afternoon sunshine and a high in the upper 50s.  A clear sky allows radiational cooling, and we see temps drop to about 40F by Friday morning, ahead of another rain system.  The rain for the coming weekend is now looking a little warmer and little lighter.  Saturday looks like the rain day, with clearer weather for Sunday into Monday.  We are looking at the chance for more rain as early as Tuesday.

Overnight lows warm a bit through the period into the mid 40s.  Daytime highs remain in the upper 50s.  We remain in a wet trend through the following weekend.  There is some suggestion that we could see some high pressure set up after that, but that has been the name of the game since New Years.  We will need to watch it as we get closer.  We are now looking at three weeks of kicking the sunshine can down the road.
