great week ahead... (am.24.oct.11)>

there is no trace of clouds at sunrise this morning, with a humidity reading of 47%.  my overnight low temp has been 54.1F (12.3C)... and in case you missed it on the last couple of posts, yesterday's rainfall amounted to 0.61" (1.5cm).

our weekend winter-like storm is pretty much out of the picture now... but there may still be enough energy aloft and instability in the atmosphere to stir up a thundershower or two around the area this afternoon.  the mountains of himachal pradesh and jammu & kashmir were hit with the first significant snowfall of the season over the past 48-72 hours.  if you're going to be trekking or traveling anywhere to the north, please check ahead to find out if passes are navigable... last night i read that rotang was at least temporarily closed, and i'm sure there are other inaccessible passes at the moment.

after today, the rest of the week is looking very nice.  we should see lots of sunshine, low humidity and near normal late october temperatures.  it has obviously cooled off several degrees, making for some chilly nights and early mornings, but with the sunshine, daylight hours will remain rather comfortable.
