There have been just a few brief, light showers since last night's report, amounting to 0.03" (1mm) -- which will be added on to yesterday's rainfall total. That makes 0.96" (2.4cm) for Friday, and exactly 37.0" (94.0cm) for the month of August, with one day to go. It's cloudy early this morning, with some light fog. The temp is right around 64F (17.8C), and humidity is near 100% yet again.
Although the end of August does not mark the end of monsoon season, it's at least a psychological boost to turn the page on what often turns out to be the wettest month of the year. That is definitely the case in 2013 -- we've had 12" (30.5cm) more rain in August than we had in July. Check the MONSOON 2013 RAINFALL tab (above) if you're interested in the breakdown this season so far.
There's no big dramatic clearing trend expected this weekend, but it does look like our recent rather heavy rainfall rates will be easing up a bit during the coming 72 hours or so. Some drier air is trying to work its way into the mid-levels of the atmosphere, and we'll see if that can translate into a lowering of the humidity and perhaps a period or two of sunshine during the next few days. On the other hand, ingredients remain in place to produce sudden showers and downpours of rain on any given day, so don't get caught unprepared!
