northeast & mid-atlantic
A simply glorious day compared with yesterday, the day before and the day before that!! After the front crossed through the region yesterday afternoon and evening, it cleared out the hot, extremey humid air, leaving a much more refreshing air mass in it's wake from DC to New York. Drier, much more comfortable air will make it easier to step outdoors, reducing the ozone levels and humidity. Though highs will warm towards 90 for New York, Trenton, Philadelphia and down to the Baltimore, Washington area, with a high between 89-91, the humidity levels will be low, making it feel much more pleasant. Lows tonight will drop to around 70 for the downtowns and low to mid-60s in rural areas.
northern plains
Today should be mostly sunny and warm throughout the Midwest and N. Plains with lots of sunshine and highs generally climbing to between 85-90 degrees across the region. The far north, near the Canadian border may have a threat of some ptchy thunderstorms but overall Minneapolis should top around 89 whilst Chicago enjoys lots of sun and a high near 86 degrees. The Dakotas will become downright hot this afternoon with highs that will range between 95-100 degrees. Lows tonight should drop into the 70s across the entire region. Mid-70s possible for major metro areas.
southern plains
An overall day of sun and storms as moisture pours up from the Gulf bringing a risk of thunderstorms from the Gulf Coast all the way north to Oklahoma City as a tuely tropical flow pours north. Highs will range from the upper 80s for the Galveston-Houston areas to 94-97 degrees with substantial humidity between Dallas and Oklahoma City... Tonight will see lows in the mid to upper 70s across the board.
southwest
The Southwest and up the coast of California, it will be classic for summer.. Low cloud and fog by morning, afternoon sunshine with highs generally warming towards 80 at the Civic Center, Los Angeles, 105 in Palm Springs, 105 in Las Vegas, 107 in Phoenix. It's going to be a hot one for the Great Basin relative to averages with highs topping around 100 in Salt Lake City with lwo to mid-90s for Reno with a chance of a stray thunderstorm popping up in the nearby mtns. Tonight will see lows in the upper 50s at the beaches, low 60s for the LA basin, 70 for the inland coastal areas and Inland Empire, 70s and 80s for the deserts.
northwest
A very warm to hot day acrioss the PNW with Seattle enjoying a high around 86 degrees, Portland 94 and east of the mountains highs near or above 100 in eastern WA and OR... 98 for Boise whilst it will reach 83 at Cut Bank, 96 in Billings, MT.

Washington DC to New York City
A day which will remain in the 80s with dew points in the 50s!
After the front came through yesterday afternoon and dropped temps from the 90s to low 70s in a matter of 60 to 90 mins... Now New York, Philadelphia and even DC can enjoy 80s for highs today along with dew points in the very pleasant 50s to the north (over NYC, Philly, Balt), 60s further south (DC southwards). Though temps will climb back to the low 90s in the next few days, the air will feel less uncomfortable as humidity will remain relatively low for a few days, in saying that, over the next 3-6 days, humidity levels will slowly rise once again but I wouldn't be surprised if the worst of the heat in terms of air temperature at least was over. August may be hot also, but highs in the I-95 may remain below 100.... Lets hope so anyway for those living in the I-95!

The "red" region are now turning towards "green' !
And what we have discussed and hoped for in Friday's blog, is precisely what has occured !
The system a well marked low on "landing", moved thru Chattisgarh, M.P. and is today (Monday) over the Gujarat region. In its trail, it has precipitated heavy rain in M.P. and almost throughout Maharashtra.
Sunday/Monday Rains in Maharashtra/M.P (cms): Damoh 25.4, Jabalpur 16.0, Guna 11.5, Durg 11.2, Raipur 7.5, Wardha 6.5, Amraoti 4.8,
Gondia 4.7.
Other Centres with copious rains in the peninsula and Gujarat regions (cms): Mahabaleshwar 29.1, Deesa 11.1, Bhira 10.4, Jayapura 9.9, Agumbe & Ratnagiri 9.1 each,
Kollur 8.0, Panjim (Goa) 7.8, Gandhinagar 7.6, Satara 7.4, Kolhapur 6.6, Sankeshwar 6.5, New Kandla 6.2, Ahmedabad 6.1, Gudallur 5.5, Belgaum (Sambra) & Siddapur 5.4 each, Honavar 5.3, Devala 4.5,
Adjoining East Rajasthan (cms): Bilaspur 8.0, Udaipur 7.7, Erinpura Rd. 6.4, Chhachhrauli 5.6, Mandi 5.5, Chittorgarh 3.6,
As mentioned ,"rain starved" Mahableshwar received 291 mms in 24 hrs ended Monday morning, and the total for the season jumped to 1986 mms, still 850 in the deficit.
Gujarat state is getting ample precipiation with Mehsana & Banaskantha districts feeling the brunt with Khadi 293 mms, Becharji 270 mms, Dhanera getting 233 mms, Dantiwada 155 mms, Detroj 154 mms, Kalol 125 mms,Virangam 124 mms, and a lot of stations receiving between 60-120 mms. And with 1 more day of rainfall yet for Gujarat tomorow (Tuesday).
When the water lakes &reservoirs fill up in the desert region of Kutch, there is a ceromony and celebrations amongst the villages. The residents of many Kutch villages yesterday distributed "ladoos" and had a small puja on the waterfronts. The district has had good rains this year, with Mandvi having already received 124% of its seasonal rains, 465 mms against an normal of 365 mms.
On an average, the other towns in Kutch have got around 60% of the normal season's rain.
Now, with the system tracking west, 1 more day's rain for Gujarat, and a decrease in rainfall for Maharashtra. System may move the sindh coast, precipitating rains.
Mumbai will see a decrease in rains from Tuesday. With a chance to "clean up the roads", as the city will get just about 20 mms/ day. A respite for the next 2/3 day is imminent.
Mumbai Colaba rains are just shy of 40 mms to reach the rainfall total of the full season, 1920 mms !
The axis of the monsoon extends upto 5.8 kms a.s.l. and passes through Bhuj, Indore, Jabalpur, Jamshedpur, Digha and thence southeastwards to east central Bay. The off-shore trough at mean sea level from south Gujarat coast to Kerala coast persists
With the axis down south now, Look out for the next low forming in the central bay ! An initial low of 1002 could be expected in a couple of days. A rush of winds onto the Kerala/Karnataka coast, and towards the nascent low could be expected.
