thursday morning>

mostly clear skies and 19c/66f just past 6am. the last time we had three days in a row without measurable rain was back on 17-19 june, and we have a shot at matching that rainless streak today. there is plenty of moisture in the atmosphere, which will manifest in the form of clouds and fog by noon, but it is quite warm and stable aloft... and that will tend to squash the development of any significant shower/thundershower action. so, expect plenty of cloudy and foggy gloom during the afternoon hours both today and tomorrow, but only a small chance of any rain. changes are on the way for the weekend, however. another deep, rich, thick, juicy blob of monsoon moisture will sneak northwestward into our area, while temperatures aloft cool down a bit. that instability is expected to return us to a wetter pattern which will last into at least the middle of next week...

THURSDAY: sunshine this morning... then becoming cloudy and foggy by the afternoon. an isolated thundershower is possible.
