saturday evening>

after a nice morning, our saturday went south during the afternoon. numerous thunderstorms developed along the front range of the himalayas (all the way from kashmir to central nepal), in response to rapidly warming surface temperatures combined with cool air and a bit of rotation up around 15,000-17,000ft (near 5000m). this same weather pattern will persist for the next few days, which means a continuing decent chance of scattered afternoon and evening thundershowers. temperatures will be quite warm during sunny periods, but it will be chilly and breezy when those storms kick in. the best rule of thumb is to keep a "plan B" in mind if you have outdoor activities scheduled, and keep the umbrella within arm's reach.
