*Update @ 9:20pm... Total rainfall since midnight updated below.
*Update @ 8:12pm... Rain showers have been redeveloping and increasing in intensity during the last half hour. Will post an update of the rainfall tally later tonight. Concerned about more landslides, road wash-outs, flooding, etc., if this continues overnight.
------------------------------------------------------
Tuesday's stats:
Low temp: 63.7F (17.6C)
High temp: 68.5F (20.3C)
Rainfall since midnight: 2.51" (6.4cm) -- *updated at 920pm
It's cloudy this evening, and there's not that much fog around at the moment. The rain has stopped, but not before delivering exactly 2" (5.1cm) to my rain gauge in the upper part of town between about noon and 4:30pm. The majority of that occurred during a very heavy downpour during the noon hour itself. It's been kind of a chilly afternoon, with the low temp (above) occurring just after 3:00pm during a period of heavy rain.
Satellite pics this evening show extensive rain and thundershowers covering much of northern Pakistan and southern J&K, with dying activity over parts of Himachal. We've had the thick moisture in place for a few days now, but today there was finally enough of a 'trigger' in the mid- and upper-levels of the atmosphere to lift and condense it into fairly widespread heavy precipitation. The upper-air flow may carry more rain and thundershowers into our area later tonight, so it's possible that our total for 13 August will rise even further.
The coming five days or so will be interesting. Computer models continue to disagree, and are having a generally confused time of resolving this weather pattern. It is likely that we could actually get some nice breaks with lower humidity, but the chance of occasional very heavy downpours remains high as well. I think even the most die-hard monsoon fans might enjoy some brighter days...?
