Sunday's stats:
Low temp: 43.2F (6.2C)
High temp: 53.8F (12.1C)
Precipitation: none
We've had a fairly thick build-up of clouds here along the southwest-facing slopes of the Dhauladhars this afternoon, which are just now in the process of breaking up and dissipating at sunset. There was a lot of sunshine during the morning into the early afternoon, however, and that aided a modest warm-up today.
A weak ridge of high pressure is building across northern India, and will keep things calm and quiet for the next few days, while allowing temperatures to continue their moderate upward climb. The atmosphere will be generally stable through Wednesday, though our sunshine will continue to be challenged by occasional periods of cloudiness on any given day. Rain chances will be close to zero, the way things look at the moment.
There will be a realignment of the upper-atmospheric pattern for the end of the week, however, and that's going to bring an increase in rain/snow chances, while causing our temperatures to drop yet again as we end the month. The best precipitation potential right now looks to be between late Wednesday night and early Saturday, but the current computer model projections are keeping rain/snow amounts on the lighter side for our general area. Still... it's not looking very pleasant for the final couple of days of a month that has been quite a bit cooler and much wetter than normal.
