it's a chilly 17c/62f up here in the forest early this morning... there are patches of strato-cumulus clouds in the mid-levels of the atmosphere, but very little fog. that means we will get some peeks of sunshine before the clouds and fog thicken up again toward the mid morning. the view from space shows very little happening across northern india at the moment... but a rain/storm complex is gathering steam over pakistan, just west of lahore, and will be moving in our general direction throughout the morning hours.
this latest surge of the monsoon has brought us just under 6 inches (15cm) of rain since last friday, and we're still expecting to squeeze out another inch or two before it winds down late tomorrow. computer models are placing the heaviest rainfall roughly along a line from srinagar to chandigarh during the next 36 hours or so... which would include us. after that, it appears that the atmosphere will dry out for at least a couple of days. we'll still run the risk of an afternoon thundershower popping up, but over the weekend, we expect to enjoy a period of drier, warmer weather, with a little more sunshine than we've seen in awhile...
WEDNESDAY: partly sunny skies early this morning... but increasing clouds and fog will lead to a good chance of more rain and/or thundershowers by mid-day into the afternoon.
