Good Afternoon,
We started this Memorial Day with patchy dense fog, that eventually mixed out, but now we're starting to see those isolated showers pop up along the shoreline...(image captured at 1:10PM).
This unsettled weather pattern for this day of remembrance for our veterans is not a total washout, and in fact has had periods of partly cloudy skies, but a stationary front is holding the weather pattern steady, and that means we'll continue to see clouds off and on, and that increasing chance of storms/rain. Dewpoints remain quite high, so this adds to the instability needed for storms. Looking at the local skew-t, I can see that temperatures are warm above 850mb, and is saturated. CAPE values are descent for thunderstorms, and LI indices are indicative of lifting. Thunderstorms are highly likely.
