after a couple of hours of nice sunshine early this morning, the gloom set in again for most of the day, in the form of lots of clouds and fog. about 3 hours of light rainshowers this afternoon brought us only about 0.10" (3mm)... much less than expected. the high temp at the weathergeek office was 22c/71f, during the mid-morning before the clouds developed.
this evening the satellite photos show lots of cloudiness over kashmir and himachal pradesh, but no organized areas of significant rain or thunderstorms. we still have a string of upper-level disturbances dropping in from the northwest, combined with tropical moisture at the surface... so i am hesistant to drop the rain potential during the next 24 hours or so. computer models are still coming up with as much as 2" (5cm) for our area between now and late thursday night, so we may yet get hit with another round of heavy rain. available moisture and atmospheric dynamics will briefly diminish on friday and saturday, which could give us some decent laundry-drying weather, but then rain chances creep back up again for the new week...
