Monday's stats:
Low temp: 55.0F (12.8C)
High temp: 63.3F (17.4C)
Rainfall: none
Patchy clouds and haze are gradually dissipating across the area just after sunset this evening, though a deep orange sun was visible as it slipped below the western horizon. Sunshine this morning was again interrupted by cloud development before noon, which led to mostly cloudy skies and random peeks of sun for most of the afternoon. There was no shower development today though, at least not here in the immediate McLeod area. Both the high and low temperatures today were the coolest of the month, and of our autumn season. Despite the recent drop in temps, we're still running very close to climatological averages for the latter third of October.
Satellite pics late this afternoon/evening tell the story. Skies are clear across nearly all of northern India, with the only traces of clouds hanging onto the mountain peaks... and particularly here along the front slopes of the Dhauladhars in Himachal Pradesh. Right on top of us, of course.
Computer models are still showing no rainfall at all during the coming several days, but we'll still have to keep a bit of a 'heads-up' for random/isolated light showers which could pop up during the afternoon hours along the mountain slopes. There is also a trend toward warmer temperatures throughout all layers of the atmosphere, and especially aloft, as the week progresses, as the mid- and upper-level flow shifts back to the west. The average moisture content of this air mass is projected to drop further as well. So -- let's see how all of these factors influence this junky PM cloudiness and haze between tomorrow and Friday.
