Friday's stats:
Low temp: 49.6F (9.8C)
High temp: 61.2F (16.2C)
Rainfall: 0.03" (1mm)
We have some haze and a few patchy clouds around the area this evening, as temperatures slide downward. Showers never redeveloped down at our elevation today, after the couple of periods of thunder, gusty winds and light rain showers which occurred off and on between about 2:30 and 7:00am. In fact, sunshine was in control for the majority of the day, which kept things relatively pleasant, despite the cooler air mass which continues to advance on us.
A couple of upper-level disturbances sliding east-southeastward through northern India the last 48 hours or so have only been able to muster up 0.12" (3mm) of rain at my location in the upper part of McLeod -- and all of that has occurred during the early morning hours. There has also been some mainly pre-dawn gusty winds the last couple of days, as differing air masses battle it out here along the front slopes of the mountains. I think our risk of showers has all but died out completely, as cooler, drier and more stable air continues to flow into Himachal Pradesh, and the upper-air circulations push off to the east. This will leave us with the coolest temperatures of this autumn season over the weekend, but also low humidity readings, and a good amount of sunshine.
November is the driest month of the year on average here in the Dharamsala/McLeod area -- but it appears we may have a rather active weather pattern developing again by the middle of this coming week. Right now computer models are forecasting significant rainfall for Wednesday and Thursday, along with plunging temperatures. So -- we have more to watch during this first week of the new month.
