It's unseasonably mild again early this morning, with a low temp of just 64.8F (18.2C) here in the upper part of town. For the third straight morning the day is dawning with totally clear skies, so we'll have bright sunshine once again in just a matter of minutes. The humidity reading stands at 55% to start the day.
In case you missed last night's blog post, Monsoon 2013 is now officially behind us. The India Met Department issued their official withdrawal declaration last evening for all but extreme eastern parts of Himachal, as well as many other surrounding areas. After several years in a row of having to wait 5-10 days longer for the official withdrawal, it's kind of a treat to have it occur fairly close to the long-term average.
I'm still concerned about lingering tropical moisture and monsoon conditions lurking just to our southeast during the coming few days, however. Computer models are offering a variety of different solutions, but there is consensus that some of that moisture will be edging back toward the west-northwest over the weekend, which could bring us an increase in humidity, the development of more clouds and fog, and even the risk of a couple of showers or thundershowers. It's possible that the juicier moisture won't make it back this far north and west, just keep in mind that we may have less sunshine and dry air than we've seen during the past few days.
Temperatures will remains on the warm side, as long as we don't get a lot of cloud cover, with hints of even more warming by the middle of next week.
