Will The Sun Ever Come Back?

We've had quite a string of days with cloudy or mostly cloudy days (5 days already in November with clouds covering at least 80% of the sky, and 3 more partly cloudy days). That trend should get a little bit of a break as we head into the weekend and the start of this coming week.

Take a look at this map:

What this map shows is drier air moving into the area. It's the average relatively humidity for the middle third of the atmosphere - where a lot of clouds form and stay. In the circled area we are getting an injection of 20-30% humidity, pushing in to an area of 30-40% humidity, which is already lower than those bluer colors (higher humidity) that we have been seeing for days now. Look for some peaks of sun to come through, finally, and make fall a little bit sunnier of a period - at least for a couple days.

Have a great night!
