skies are mostly clear just after sunset this evening. the afternoon clouds cleared out much more quickly today than during the past couple of days, which may be a sign of improvement for the rest of the week. i recorded a high temp of 61.7F (16.5C) with no rainfall, and humidity averaging around 60%.
we remain in a holding pattern... fairly strong west-northwest flow aloft, with a rather cool and moist airmass in place here along the front ranges of the himalayas. apart from a couple of random, isolated rain and snow showers in the higher reaches of the mountains, no precipitation is expected for the next several days. the greater percentage of sunshine we saw today may be due to more stability between temperatures in differing layers of our airmass... but the potential for clouds vs. sunshine will have to be weighed on a day-by-day basis. still... sunshine will remain most prevalent during the morning hours.
by friday, it looks like warmer air will begin to manifest gradually in all levels of the atmosphere... so we may end up back above normal, temperature-wise, by the weekend. in our immediate future, tonight could be the coolest night of the season...
