chill in the air... (pm.13.nov.11)>

we have hazy and partly cloudy skies during the half hour before sunset this evening.  it has been a relatively cool day... with a high temp of just 62.2F (16.8C), which occurred just after 3:00pm.  although there was some sunshine, the clouds had the upper hand today, with humidity averaging around 65%.

there is a rip-roaring jetstream blasting across the western himalayas right now in the highest levels of the atmosphere.  that, combined with cold air aloft and just enough moisture along the front ranges of the mountains has prevented us from enjoying the full sunshine we would like to see.  despite the occasionally gloomy skies, there are no real storm systems threatening... and that should remain the case right through the coming week.  today there were a couple of isolated showers in the higher mountains, and that kind of activity can't be entirely ruled out during the next few days.  there is even a risk of one of those showers making it down to our elevation, perhaps on tuesday.

the chill is definitely back in the air... and these seasonably cool temps should stick around until the very end of the week, when we could experience a a bit of a rebound.
