potential for action... (am.10.nov.11)>

we have glimmers of sunshine through a broken layer of high clouds this morning, with a humidity reading of 47%.  i recorded an overnight low of 59.0F (15.0C)... the warmest since the 21st of october.  it really doesn't get much milder than this to start a morning during the month of november.

satellite pics are showing a huge area of broken mid- and high clouds extending from the arabian sea through pakistan, into northwest india.  all of this is in advance of the upper-level disturbance that will be plowing southeastward during the next 36 hours or so.  although low-level moisture is very limited up here in himachal, there will probably be enough dynamic energy with this system to stir up some scattered showers and thundershowers later today, tonight and friday.  rainfall amounts are still expected to be generally light here in mcleod, but stay tuned for updates should things start developing!

there will likely be accumulating snow again up on the dhualadars between this afternoon and friday evening, along with a sharp turn to colder temps.  don't be caught unprepared up there.

we'll remain a few degrees warmer than normal today... and possibly on friday as well, before some cooler air filters in over the weekend.
