6/28/2008

The 5:30 AM temperature was 74ºF and the sky was partly cloudy with lots of Cirrus type clouds spread around. I estimate winds were 4-7 mph according to the Beaufort scale. There was 0.08" of rain in the gauge bringing this station up to 0.96" for June. Other CoCoRaHS stations near me have received 1.08" and 1.70" of rain so far in June.

The forecast for today is for high temperatures in the mid 80's and a 50% chance of thunderstorms today and a 70% chance tonight.

The worlds greatest 1-minute rainfall was 1.5" at Guadeloupe, French West Indies on November 26, 1970. (Extreme Weather - Astronomy Magazine Special Issue - 2008)

The low for today was 73ºF and the high was 87ºF. We missed almost all the showers as the majority either formed to the east or went southeast of us.
