At the moment it's partly cloudy, but that could change before I am finished typing this. We've had some light rain overnight -- my gauge shows 0.19" (5mm) -- and the low temperature here in the upper part of town was 62.2F (16.8C). Humidity is currently 77%.
We've had about 15 inches (38cm) of rain in the past week, which is a really impressive total. The heaviest deluges occurred between the very early morning hours of Sunday and early Sunday afternoon, and between Tuesday night and Wednesday morning. But -- we've had several other downpours and periods of moderate to heavy rain during the past week that have combined to put us ahead of the curve in terms of rainfall for the month of July.
There are indications that our daily rainfall rates may be lower between now and Monday, as the deepest monsoon moisture pulls away temporarily, and as the general dynamics of our atmosphere calm down a bit. However, I still think we'll be in for occasional showers that could produce some fairly hefty rainfall amounts between now and Monday, so don't pack away the umbrella. Most of the computer model data shows the next strong surge of classic monsoon ingredients on the way by Tuesday of next week.
