*Update @ 8:41pm... Total rainfall for the month of March at my location here on Tushita Road just below the mountaineering center is 7.94" (20.2cm). This is more than double the average/normal amount for March. If you remember, our February total rainfall was also more than double the norm.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Friday's stats:
Low temp: 46.0F (7.8C)
High temp: 55.0F (12.8C)
Rainfall since 6:30am: 0.27" (7mm)
24 hour rainfall: 0.71" (1.8cm)
What a beautiful evening we're getting to enjoy after the damp and gloomy weather of the past 36 hours or so. We have partly cloudy skies at sunset, with a lingering thundershower visible well off to our southeast. Although there were a couple of significant periods of rain today, along with a few other brief showers, we didn't really add all that much to our 24 hour rainfall total (above) -- leaving us with well less than an inch of rain from this most recent storm system. It was nice to see some glimpses of sunshine during the afternoon, though there was some thunder and a brief shower again just after 4pm.
I'm hesitant to say that this weather disturbance is finished with us, as there could be some scattered showers and possibly a thundershower in the vicinity overnight. Tomorrow, the computer models are still hinting at some isolated shower development somewhere around our area -- but we should definitely see much nicer conditions than we've been struggling through the last couple of days.
By tomorrow night and Sunday there will be a rather broad ridge of high pressure trying to build across northwest India and adjoining areas, which should be the main weather feature into the middle of next week. We're going to have to be aware of a bit of afternoon instability which could trigger an isolated thundershower over the Dhauladhars, otherwise it looks like we should be able to enjoy some truly nice springtime weather for a few days. Sunshine and scattered clouds along with pleasantly mild temperatures should be in place for our March-to-April transition, though the risk of some showers will creep back in by late Wednesday.
