What a way to finish off the month of February! Other than the fact that we had a chilly start to the morning, the day turned out very close to perfect, with lots of sunshine, and comfortable temperatures. I recorded a high of 60.4F (15.8C), which was slightly warmer than expected.
I am automatically leary, and a little bit paranoid, when the weather pattern looks like it is going to be quiet for a few days. That's the situation now... as a weak ridge of high pressure builds across northern India, with no sign of any kind of storm systems until the latter half of the weekend. I've been looking hard for a "fly in the ointment" that might play the spoiler for the first two or three days of March, but I don't see it. It appears that we're in line for a good amount of sun, along with gradually warming temperatures.
It is possible that we could see a dramatic surge of spring-time air by Saturday and Sunday, in advance of the next significant upper-level disturbance. I'm playing it conservative for now, but we'll be watching it on a day-by-day basis, along with an increasing chance of rain for Sunday and Monday.
