Our Monday morning is dawning with mostly clear skies. The temperature has barely budged all night long -- it's around 66F (17C) right now, and the overnight low was 65.5F (18.6C). The current humidity reading is 58%, and there has been no rainfall since last report.
We had our first preview of the approaching monsoon season over the weekend, with a couple of periods of heavy rainfall between Friday night and very early Sunday morning. It's still not the real thing, though, as our atmosphere has not even come close to reaching the kind of long-term saturation that prevails once the monsoon gets settled in. In fact, in these very early stages, there are often numerous surges and retreats of deeper tropical moisture up here along the front slopes of the Himalayas -- and that's what we're going to be seeing during this final week of June and the first several days of July.
There will probably be some isolated to scattered shower and thundershower development across our general area both today and tomorrow, but with a decent amount of sunshine as well. Humidity will continue to run in the moderate range of roughly 50-65% or so. By late Tuesday night into early Wednesday, we'll be seeing another strong surge of moisture-laden air pushing in from the south-southeast, while a rather potent upper-level disturbance slides in from the northwest. This will likely set us up for a few waves of heavier rain and thunderstorms -- mainly on Wednesday and Thursday -- with things calming down again by Thursday night into Friday. The weekend is actually looking pretty good at the moment, but the next surge of moisture won't be far away...
