*Update @ 8:33am... Rainfall intensity has increased again during the past few minutes, as satellite pics show a resilient band of showers along an axis from extreme northeastern Pakistan through southwest Jammu & Kashmir, into central Himachal. I was expecting these showers to fizzle out this morning, but they're obviously still hanging on.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
We've had some persistent, significant rain overnight -- I've recorded 1.45" (3.7cm) since last report (around 9:15pm) here on Tushita Road just below the Mountaineering Center. It's cloudy with patchy fog at sunrise, with just a bit of drizzle. The early morning temperature is 66F (18.9C), and humidity is close to 100%.
Satellite pics show a few small clusters of rain and thundershowers from western Kashmir into central Himachal Pradesh, which have been nearly stationary since last evening. This activity should dissipate during the next few hours, but new scattered shower action could easily redevelop later in the day.
Computer models and other data are trending toward a slightly drier atmosphere as we head into the mid-week period. That doesn't mean rain chances will be diminishing altogether, but it does indicate that we may see more hours of dry weather in between showers/downpours, along with a few periods of lower humidity now and then. During the very heart of the monsoon season, any stretch of drier conditions is much appreciated.
