It's totally cloudy early this morning, but there's no rain falling at the moment, at least not at my location in the upper part of town. My rain gauge shows an additional 0.74" (1.9cm) since 8:00pm last evening, bringing the total rainfall since Saturday evening up to 2.21" (5.6cm). The overnight low has been a chilly 50.2F (10.1C), and the humidity reading is 73%.
That total rainfall amount since late Saturday is actually very close to the normal total for the entire month of May, so this latest weather system has indeed delivered on its promises, and then some. Right now the center of the upper-level circulation is still parked over extreme northwestern Pakistan, with its counter-clockwise flow continuing to funnel moisture into Himachal Pradesh. It does look like the brunt of this whole system's effect is now behind us, but the likelihood still exists for some occasional shower and thundershower development today. I think it's also possible that we could see some sunshine at some point as well -- so overall, it may balance out a bit less nasty today than it was yesterday. Unless we do get a couple of hours of sun, our temperatures will languish in this way cooler than normal range.
Although there could still be a shower or thundershower around the area tomorrow, we should embark upon a trend of improvement through the latter half of the week. Sunshine will be more plentiful, our air mass will begin warming up again, and rain chances will diminish. The weekend into early next week doesn't look 100% problem-free, but it doesn't look like we'll see another system like the one we've been recently dealing with.
