september is like this... (pm.13.sep.15)>

Sunday's stats:

Low temp: 63.5F (17.5C)
High temp: 72.3F (22.4C)
Rainfall: 0.41" (1.0cm)

At last look, there were still a lot of clouds lingering around the area, with some patches of fog as well.  Once again our fantastic morning sunshine gave way to an aggressive build-up of cloudiness by the noon hour, with a few periods of showers and thunder which started almost exactly at the same time as yesterday's -- 2:45pm.  But today the amounts were a bit more significant, and we've had very little sunshine to boost our spirits late this afternoon and evening.  My high temp in the upper part of town was the coolest since Monday of last week.

I want to point you again to THE TRANSITION TO AUTUMN tab (above), which pretty much sums up my thoughts and opinions about this very fickle month of September that we are now reaching the middle of.  I am being redundant if I restate it all on a daily basis, so please check out that discussion if you haven't already.

Computer models have been characteristically hopeless in catching this shower and thundershower development right along the front slopes of the Dhaualdhars the last couple of days, and they continue to show nothing more than the most isolated development during the afternoon hours during the coming several days.  But we know that we are in a unique position here, compared to locations further downhill, so continue to be braced for deceptive morning sunshine followed by a fairly good chance of some showers/thunder during the PM hours...
