Tuesday's stats:
Low temp: 64.0F (17.8C)
High temp: 69.8F (21.0C)
Rainfall: 2.41" (6.1cm) -- midnight until 7:45pm (*updated)
There are some faint glimmers of sunshine across the area this evening, after what we might call a "rainy day". Clusters of rain showers that developed along the leading edge of the mountains late last night held on much longer than expected, and kept redeveloping off and on throughout most of the day. I've had an impressive rainfall total since midnight (see stats above), and will update that amount later this evening.
During the monsoon season, and even during other times of the year, we are often under the gun here along the Dhauladhars, even if computer model data isn't indicating significant precipitation. If you are a regular weathergeek reader, you've heard the story time and time again about our micro-climate features that sometimes over-ride the large-scale patterns. That's what we've been dealing with since late last night, as deep tropical moisture trapped along the leading edge of the mountains was being lifted and condensed into rain-producing clouds in a sort of "holding pattern" that lasted for about 12-15 hours.
The overall scenario favors a turn to "less wet" conditions during the mid-week period, which means we could get more dry hours between showers, and some periods of lower humidity between tomorrow and perhaps Friday. Then, it looks like yet another surge of deep tropical moisture will be making its presence known over the coming weekend.
