It is Sunday morning, and there will be thousands flocking to Tsuglagkhang to attend teachings given by HH the Dalai Lama in just a couple of hours. So far this morning it is mostly cloudy with some light, patchy fog -- humidity is near 100%, and the temperature is a mild 67F (19.5C) to start the day. There has been no rainfall overnight.
Yesterday's rainfall total of 0.20" (5mm) was the least amount of daily rainfall I've recorded in exactly one week. Although we had several periods of showers, they never lasted very long, and were generally on the light side. We've got the same general atmospheric environment in place today, so be prepared for a bit of everything once again. It's likely that we'll have some sunny breaks in the midst of clouds and occasional fog, along with the ever-present risk of the development of a few showers and/or thundershowers. Computer model data this morning shows some discrepancies in terms of rainfall amounts -- one model says we could pick up around 1.5" (3-4cm), but the others are keeping amounts down around a half inch (1cm) or less. Of course the mountain effects will end up being the deciding factor.
Although a period of sunshine and lower humidity for a couple of hours could still occur, it looks like we'll be mostly in the monsoon/tropical soup as we head toward the middle of the new week. There is no evidence of an approaching weather feature that would be strong enough to shove this monsoon moisture out of our neighborhood for any significant length of time.
