YESTERDAY’S FRONT…0.02 INCHES OF NEW RAIN ADDED
LAST EVENING.
Following the recent bout of humid conditions, this morning’s
low of 56F was a significant change after the previous day’s
overnight low of just 70F. Dew points today have largely
been held in the upper 40s today after yesterday’s run in the
lower 70s.
A brief shower of 0.02 inches of rain last evening bumps up
yesterday’s storm total of 0.29 inches, briefly stalling
our long-term drought-like conditions. Forecasts for dry
weather to finish the month will likely push the precipitation
deficit to over 2 inches.
