there are patches of clouds and fog drifting through this evening, but a bit of sunshine has been showing up as well. thanks to a handful of appearances of the sun, our high temp made it to 71.8F (22.1C). according to my records, today was the first time this month without so much as a single drop of rain.
and it has now been exactly 48 hours since we've seen significant rainfall... as yesterday's light rain and drizzle during the afternoon amounted to less than a tenth of an inch (2mm). i am seeing nothing but positive signs for the week ahead. although there remains a good amount of moisture trapped in the lowest layers of the atmosphere, drier air continues to flow in aloft, from the west. gradually, this drier air in the mid- and upper levels of the atmosphere will mix down to the surface, scouring out the leftover monsoon moisture that has been stubborn to leave us. we still can't rule out an isolated shower or two, mainly during the afternoons, but the chances of widespread, significant amounts of rain are diminishing rapidly.
it will take several days for official monsoon withdrawal declarations to be made for northwest india, but there seems to be nothing on the horizon that would reverse our current positive trends... click here for the latest.
