Yesterday, and again today, general cloudiness is a sign of moisture being present. But, if the clouds don’t “burn-off” it can inhibit the formation of thunderstorms. Thunderstorms provide the lift to produce the cooling and condensing of the water vapor. The diffuse lighting and cloud reflect prevent the formation of storms.

Days like today can limit precipitation, or see formation of thunderstorms later in the day.
