monday morning>

we have cloudy skies and 18c/65f early this morning. there were only a few very light rain showers overnight, but not enough to measure. current satellite pics are showing lots of cloud cover across northern india, with some brighter, colder tops over eastern himachal pradesh, extending eastward into extreme western portion of tibet, indicating rain and thundershowers. the flow in the upper atmosphere is coming in from the east-northeast now, so that activity appears to be heading in our direction.

our chances of heavy rainfall are very good between now and tomorrow evening, as this upper-level disturbance moves slowly from east to west across the area, tapping into the tropical moisture at the surface. 2-3" (5-8cm) might be a conservative estimate during the coming 36 hours or so. we're looking at a break in the rain during the mid-week period, perhaps on wednesday into early thursday, but then a good chance of more significant rains moving in for the end of the week. temps will fluctuate very little, with the lack of decent sunshine...
