stormless pattern... (pm.6.nov.11)>

the sky is partly cloudy just after sunset this evening, at the end of day which featured full morning sunshine, and then a build-up of mountain clouds during the afternoon.  i recorded a high temp of 63.1F (17.3C), which was actually a bit cooler than i had expected.

our atmosphere is in another state of transition, as a massive area of high pressure develops across nothern india, from the surface into the highest levels.  computer models are forecasting a rather robust warming trend this week, along with plenty of sun until at least wednesday.  my concern which dampens my enthusiasm about a nice warm-up centers on the fear that the warmer air from the plains riding up the mountains may simply produce a layer of mid- and low level clouds... we've seen that time and time again, during just about any season of the year.  for now, i'll go with the sunshine and warming trend, but it'll have to be carefully watched for potential spoilage.!

rainfall potential should be slim at best, until the very end of the week when the next weather system starts to displace our ridge of high pressure.  still... there is nothing to suggest any kind of signifcant rain and/or storminess in the next week or so.
