Sunday's stats:
Low temp: 38.7F (3.7C)
High temp: 50.5F (10.3C)
Precipitation: none
Patches of mountain clouds are dissipating this evening, just as a few thin, high clouds appear on the western horizon. We got to enjoy some stunningly gorgeous mid-January weather this morning into the early afternoon, thanks to lots of sun and temperatures rising above 50F (10C). However, there was rapid development of low cloudiness here along the front slopes of the mountains by 2:00pm, which led to a couple of hours of grey and cloudy skies before things started clearing out again as late afternoon turned to evening.
We'll be making the transition into the latter one-third of January very soon, but we've still yet to get anything even remotely resembling a genuine winter storm brewing. Of course there is plenty of time left -- as there have been some major snow-producing storms around here all the way into the first half of February, and lots of snow up towards upper Dharamkot and Galu Temple as late as the very beginning of March. Still, things have been fairly uneventful this year, and there is nothing on the weather charts suggesting any dramatic changes in our near future.
There is another upper-level disturbance on the way for the mid-week period, however. It is now centered over southern Iran, and should ripple across northern India between Tuesday night and mid-day Thursday. One set of computer model data is showing some significant rainfall for us during that period, but others are keeping the precipitation rather light and widely scattered -- as we've already experienced several times this month.
In general, our air mass is going to be on the mild side for this time of year, but an extended period of clouds and potential rainfall would bring temporarily colder temps -- were that to happen during the middle of this week.
