The sky is cloudy this morning, but there is no fog up here in McLeod right now, as humidity has been holding around 90% for much of the night. I had an additional 0.11" (3mm) of rain since the last report, so fortunately, the heavier rains didn't continue overnight. You've probably noticed it is just a notch cooler... 64F (17.8C) here on Tushita Road.
Yesterday's 2.5" (6.4cm) of rain led to a few problems around the area, with some flooded roadways, minor washouts, etc. That's to be expected this time of year when the ground is over-saturated and even a brief heavy downpour produces too much water to be soaked up or drained off efficiently. We should see the development of more moderate to heavy showers later today, so be cautious if you're traveling up and down and around, and be aware of places where the roads are unstable and crumbling.
Right now it looks like we may see the heavy rain potentially decreasing a bit between late tonight and mid-day Friday, before another surge appears for at least the first part of the weekend. As I mentioned last evening, there are hints that we could have some nice, drier breaks with lower humidity in the midst of it all during the next 5-6 days -- but that doesn't mean the monsoon is on its way out! Not yet.
