today definitely has been a contender for the "sunniest day of 2011" prize. there were just a few high cirrus clouds drifting through, and only a handful of short-lived cumulus clouds over the mountains during the mid-afternoon hours. downright gorgeous. mysteriously, i recorded a high temp of 63.1F (17.3C) for the third straight day, so we haven't yet gotten down to business with regard to the advertised warming trend. still... if you've been able to spend any time in the sunshine, it has been toasty warm.
already our atmosphere is readjusting... as a more active pattern organizes to our west. we may get one more day of quiet weather before rain chances will be on the increase. a general trough of low pressure will slide into the western himalayan region by the end of the week, and that will flatten out the high pressure ridge which has been responsible for the almost unlimited sunshine of the past few days. new data coming in is suggesting that we may stand a better chance of some measurable rainfall starting on thursday, with that chance continuing into the early part of next week.
i'm still (maybe stubbornly) holding onto the expectation of a moderate warming trend during the next couple of days... already, temps are a bit above normal for this time of year, nonetheless.
TUESDAY NIGHT: clear to partly cloudy skies.
low: 12C (54F)
WEDNESDAY: a mix of sunshine and some high clouds. above normal november temps.
high: 19C (67F)
