This Saturday morning features clouds, fog, drizzle and very light rain -- very similar to what was happening the last two mornings at this time. We did get a rainless break which extended from yesterday during the mid-afternoon, throughout most of the night, with just a trace of rain at my location since last report. I'm recording an overnight low temp of 63.3F (17.4C), while the humidity reading sits at 95%.
There are some readjustments and realignments of the upper-level wind pattern in progress -- turning the flow up there more to the north. But in the lower levels, we continue to have a southeasterly flow which is still pumping a steady stream of tropical moisture into Himachal Pradesh. Although I think it's possible that we could get some kind of partial clearing temporarily at some point during the next several days, we should remain socked in with clouds and occasional fog, for the most part.
Rainfall since Wednesday hasn't been very heavy, but it has been quite steady and persistent, with way more wet hours than dry ones. There are still hints of a better chance of some heavier rain developing -- perhaps today, but most of the computer model data favors late tomorrow (Sun) through Tuesday. With a saturated ground from these steady rains for days in a row, I am concerned about what might happen if we do end up getting a dumping of 3-4" (7-10cm) in a relatively short period of time.
