monday morning>

lots of action around us early on this monday morning. numerous thunderstorms are rumbling from lower dharamsala southward through chandigarh and ambala. no rain in mcleod ganj (as of 6am), but there is thunder, and skies are black just to the south. the advertised mass of tropical moisture is now moving into northern india, and we expect rain and thunderstorm activity to become much more widespread during the next 48 hours or so. this moisture is ramming up against the mountains from nepal, all the way into himachal pradesh... and along this line, several inches of rain will be likely by wednesday morning. a return to drier weather is likely for the latter half of the week, along with a bit of a warming trend.
