mostly cloudy skies early on this friday morning... with a temp of 17c/62f. there was no additional rainfall overnight, but yesterday's total was 2.30" (5.8cm), bringing the total since last friday afternoon up to 8.35" (21.2cm). yes, it has been a very wet week!
it's always a scary proposition to take rain chances out of the forecast during the monsoon season, so i am faced with a bit of a dilemma this morning. it looks like conditions the next two days will be less favorable for rain across our area... some drier air is moving in aloft, and instability is decreasing. however, there is still an abundance of tropical moisture at the surface, and with any heating thanks to some peeks of sunshine, some isolated showers or thundershowers could surely develop. at any rate, we're looking at drier and warmer weather both today and saturday than we've seen in several days.
the tide will turn yet again starting on sunday... as deep monsoon moisture surges back into the western himalayan region. rain chances will be on the increase into early next week, with one of the computer models hinting at rainfall of 10cm (4") on tuesday alone!! we'll have to wait and see...
