It is mostly cloudy and foggy this evening, but there have been some brief glimpses of sun as well. Random showers have been moving in and out of the area since about 3:30pm, but so far, they have been generally light and short-lived. I'll be back with a rain gauge report later this evening, but up until 5:00pm, there had been nothing measurable (*Update @ 750pm... just 0.10"/3mm of rain for the day thus far). The high temp at my place just below the mountaineering center on Tushita Road reached 75.7F (24.3C), thanks to the few appearances of sunshine today.
We're awaiting our next episode of significant rainfall, which will inevitably materialize. As I mentioned this morning, there has been some drier air which has seeped into parts of the middle and upper-atmosphere, reducing the overall moisture content of our very tropical air mass. This slightly drier air will hold on until perhaps mid-day Sunday, and should provide us with a bit of sunshine/stars here and there, and prevent the clouds and thick fog from completely taking over. There are still going to be periods of rain and possibly some thunder, with the ever-present risk of heavy downpours developing both day and night.
It looks like 100% saturation will return to all layers of the atmosphere by the latter part of the weekend, which will increase the prevalence of fog while also giving us a better chance of some longer-lasting spells of moderate to heavy rain. It's looking especially wet from Sunday evening through Tuesday, when we'll get an opportunity to add several inches of rain to our July total before the month is out...
