Tuesday's stats:
Low temp: 43.9F (6.6C)
High temp: 54.9F (12.7C)
Precipitation: none
We have an extensive deck of high, thin cirrus clouds across the area just after sunset this evening, which actually began developing during the early afternoon. Up until about 2:00pm there was almost unlimited sunshine -- boosting my high temp to its warmest since the 2nd of February. It was still a few degrees (F) cooler than average for this time of year, but after the unseasonably cold weather we've dealt with most days this month, it certainly felt nice.
These high clouds rapidly developed from central Pakistan into northern India this afternoon in advance of the first in a series of upper-level disturbances which will be dominating our weather pattern for the rest of this week. Between tomorrow and Friday evening there will be very little moisture available for these minor disturbances to work with... so occasional periods of cloudiness with perhaps an isolated light rain shower or two will be the only threats. But by Friday night, some deeper moisture being drawn northward will get wrapped into a stronger upper-level circulation -- leading to a better chance of some significant rainfall (and snow higher up), which could last through Saturday into perhaps early Sunday.
Unfortunately, it looks like our recent warming trend has come to an end -- at least for the next several days. Although we shouldn't drop back into the frigid range of temps we had over the past weekend, it's going to be significantly cooler than normal for the latter half of February.
