*Update @ 10:14am... Brightening up just a bit. Satellite pics show some sharp clearing not far to our west, but there could easily be further thundershower development here along the mountains, preventing that clearing from making a lot of progress. Still, I think things will improve somewhat toward the afternoon.
*Update @ 8:54pm... Now suddenly looking exceptionally ugly out there again. Very dark, occasionally gusty winds, lots of thunder/lightning, and a moderate rain shower in progress.
*Update @ 8:38am... This morning's rainfall total is now 0.78" (2.0cm) at my house. There have been a couple of moderate to heavy showers in the past hour and a half or so, but it's calmed down again at the moment. I've got a new low temp of 55.9F (13.3C), which is an impressively chilly way to start off the month of June.
------------------------------------------------------------------
We've had some thundershowers to greet the first morning of June -- there were some random claps of thunder as early as 2:30am or so, with a more substantial round of showers during the past hour. I've got 0.24" (6mm) in the rain gauge to show for it. After warm temperatures holding just above 70F (21C) nearly all night long, it dropped to 57.9F (14.4C) here at my location in the upper part of town during the recent shower. Humidity is currently 70%.
All of the shower/thunder action tracked a bit to our north yesterday, but the upper-level wind pattern has dipped slightly further southward this morning, allowing us to take part in what's been generated by this latest series of disturbances moving across northern India. There will likely be more scattered showers and/or thunderstorms popping up across much of Himachal today and tonight, but we should be able to squeeze out some sunshine at times as well. Even so, temperatures will likely be a few degrees cooler than they were yesterday.
A return to a more dry and stable pattern is expected starting tomorrow (Mon), with a fairly quiet west-northwesterly flow becoming established aloft. That's going to allow the heat to build in yet again -- probably delivering new high temperatures for the season and the year as we head into the middle of the week. Apart from the threat of an isolated PM thundershower, rain chances will be minimal for most of the week.
