Thursday's stats:
Early morning low temp: 65.3F (18.5C)
Afternoon high temp: 85.3F (29.6C) -- warmest of 2013!
Rainfall: none
We have sunshine and some patches of thin, high clouds across the area this evening as sunset approaches. With bright sun all day, very low humidity and summertime warmth, today has been about as perfect as a day in May could be. It would be nice to be able to package one of these and open it up during the middle of monsoon season, or during the gray and wet days of the late winter season. My high temp in the upper part of town was yet another new high for the year, by the way.
A sprawling area of high pressure in the upper-atmosphere has been responsible for our recent fantastic early summer weather conditions -- we've had three straight days of quiet stability. It still looks like most of tomorrow (Fri) will be fine, but the upper-level disturbance we've been waiting for is going to be easing in from the west by tomorrow night, providing us with some significant changes over the weekend. The best chance of a couple of rounds of showers and thunderstorms will be between Friday night and Sunday evening, as some more moist air gets pulled northward while colder air arrives in the higher levels. If things come together just right, we could have some rainfall amounts in excess of a half inch (1cm+).
Rain chances will diminish starting on Monday, but at this point, it appears that next week might not be as stable and uneventful as this week has been. A shot of cooler air over the weekend will give way to warming temps once again after this system makes its exit though. Due to Indian Premier League cricket matches in Dharamsala late next week, we're on the verge of the biggest tourist influx of the year, so it will be nice if the weather behaves...
