*Update @ 9:08pm... Our sky has cleared out a bit, and satellite pics are showing absolutely nothing going on -- at least for now. Conditions are ripe for some rain/thunder development during the overnight hours, but it should remain quiet for at least a few hours.
----------------------------------------------------
Saturday's stats:
Low temp: 62.6F (17.0C)
High temp: 69.7F (20.9C)
Rainfall: 3.22" (8.2cm)
It's mostly cloudy this evening with areas of fog rolling in and out. The major rainfall ended around 11am, with just some off-and-on drizzle and a couple of brief light showers since that time. Fortunately, that heavy 3.22" (8.2cm) occurred over the course of about 10 hours or more, which kept the run-off from ever getting too serious, at least here in the immediate McLeod area. Heavier amounts in a shorter period of time could have caused some flooding further downhill, but I haven't heard of specific issues.
The very extensive area of rain and thunder which sat on top of mainly western portions of Himachal Pradesh for all those hours has mostly dissipated, leaving lots of multi-layered clouds behind. For now, the air mass has stabilized, but there is the potential for things to re-fire tonight -- so keep in mind the risk of more moderate to heavy rainfall before the weekend is over.
There is actually very little day-to-day variation on the weather charts over the course of the next 5-7 days or so, which is quite normal for the end of July. At least some rain is likely to occur every day, with a good chance of occasional heavy downpours thrown into the mix as well, thanks to an atmosphere that is going to remain very close to the saturation point. Looks like clothes-drying is going to be a difficult task for a while...
