Wednesday's stats:
Early morning low temp: 66.7F (19.3C)
Afternoon high temp: 84.7F (29.3C) -- warmest of 2013
Rainfall: none
Today's high temp was another new high for the season and the year, as the warmest air mass of 2013 remains sprawled across northern India. It is partly cloudy as we approach sunset this evening after a day dominated by sunshine and low humidity once again.
A broad area of high pressure from the surface into the upper atmosphere will continue to be the main weather feature for another 36 hours or so, keeping us stable, dry and very warm. Even the PM thunder development over the mountains has been suppressed the last couple of days. The average high temp for this stage of May is about 80-81F (27C), but we should stay warmer than that through Friday.
It looks like changes are still on the way for the weekend, however. A rather complex series of upper-level disturbances will move across the western Himalayas between late Friday and Monday, bringing colder air aloft which will destabilize the atmosphere enough to trigger some scattered showers and thunderstorms. Right now it looks like the best chance of those thunderstorms would be between Friday night and Sunday, with temperatures expected to drop several degrees in response. Check back here as we watch how all of that evolves.
