It has started raining lightly again (at 7:00am), after a night of off and on light to moderate rain, along with some thunder/lightning. My rain gauge shows just 0.64" (1.6cm) since my last report at 9:45pm -- that's a fairly respectable amount, but certainly not very heavy. I'm recording an overnight low temp of 64.9F (18.3C), and the humidity reading is hovering in the 95-100% range.
This morning's satellite pics indicate that the heaviest rain has been occurring not far off to our south and east during the past several hours -- so I wouldn't be surprised if some areas between Kangra and Shimla have picked up several inches of rain since midnight. We've remained on the very northwestern fringes of the really heavy stuff, it appears.
More heavy rain potential exists all along the mountain slopes of Himachal Pradesh during the next 36 hours or so. Although we've missed out on impressive amounts here in the immediate McLeod vicinity so far, our turn could yet come. It looks like the deepest tropical moisture will start to retreat again by tomorrow (Sat) evening, with generally improving weather conditions for a few days during the early part of next week... apart from mainly afternoon thundershower development.
**HAPPY INDIAN INDEPENDENCE DAY**
