friday morning>

partly cloudy and 19c/67f just before 6am on this friday morning. the last time we had four days in a row without measurable rain was 24-27 MAY.!.. but if today turns out to be rainless, we will match that streak. the satellite pics are a little more active this morning than they've been recently. there are a few light showers showing up this morning between shimla and manali, with a few thunderstorms over uttar anchal. this is an indication that the atmosphere is starting to get a bit more unstable.

we do expect to see more clouds and thick fog develop again today... but starting today... we will have better chances of some showers and thunderstorms developing. that rain probability will gradually increase each and every day through the weekend into early next week, as we ease back into a more normal phase of the monsoon. there is so much moisture in the air now... any thundershowers that occur could dump an inch or more (2.5cm+) of rain in a very short period of time. expect temperatures to trend downward during the next few days... thanks to the rain...
