clouds, thick fog and a few sprinkles around the area this evening... after a high temp early this afternoon at the weathergeek office of 24c/76f. today has been pretty much a xerox copy of yesterday... with some sun in the early morning... an increase of fog and clouds during the mid-day, and then a totally overcast and foggy afternoon and evening. the only difference is that we did pick up a few rain drops late this afternoon, but not enough to measure.
currently, the satellite pics are showing some thundershower action down around shimla... and other scattered showers and storms between delhi and dehra dun. this, along with trends shown on the computer guidance models, point to a gradually increasing probability of rain as we move into the weekend. deep monsoon moisture is again pushing northwestward into the area, and cooler temperatures in the mid- and upper levels of the atmosphere are showing signs of returning. this is a classic combination for heavy rain here along the foothills of the himalayas. we'll have to wait til sunday to really get back into a rainy pattern (which could continue for several days), but in the meantime, prepare for better chances of afternoon thundershowers in addition to all the clouds and fog...
