We're actually getting some peeks of sunshine in the midst of clouds and patchy fog early this morning, but there has been some light rain and drizzle within the past half hour as well. My rain gauge shows an additional 0.41" (1.0cm) of rain overnight -- and most of that fell during the hour or two before dawn. The low temp at my location in the upper part of town was 65.3F (18.5C), and humidity stands at 88%.
Genuine monsoon conditions have been incrementally ramping up since very late Saturday night, and it looks like we could be poised to pick up even heavier rainfall during the coming few days. This latest surge of moisture is still arriving, so we can probably expect more extended periods of nearly saturated conditions -- which will include some thick fog and long-lasting rains -- all the way through Friday. If we do get some sunny breaks, they'll probably be very brief.
After more than 8 inches (20.3cm) of rain in the last couple of days, the slopes of our hillsides are already getting unstable, and a few minor landslides have occurred. If/when we get another round of very heavy rain, it's only going to compound the threat of washouts and more landslides. Keep that in mind.
