Things are looking a lot nicer in te coming days with lower humidity and plenty of sunshine. Of course, by “lower” humidity, I don’t mean “low” in general, I just mean lower than the past few days – but hey, it is getting to that time of the year when we have to celebrate these small wins, right?
Recall that the dewpoint is a measure of how much moisture is in the air. It is what drives the humidity. So a lower dewpoint means lower humidity. And dewpoints in the 50s mean it is a GREAT time to be outside.
The next system doesn’t arrive until about Sunday night. And it looks like a little front may get hung up in the area with little shortwaves zipping along it. That means hit-and-miss chances for rain starting Sunday afternoon and lingering through Monday and Tuesday or next week.
Beyond that, it dries out again by the end of next week and we start to warm things back up – ust in time for Mother’s Day!
