What a balmy Sunday morning... My temperature here in the upper part of town is hovering right around 60F (15.6C), after of an overnight low of just 56.3F (13.5C). These kinds of temperatures were hard enough to reach for HIGHS up until just recently, and now they're our LOWS. We have a broken layer of high clouds at sunrise, and the humidity is a mere 33%. There has been no rainfall since last report.
It's pretty amazing the kind of transformation our atmosphere has undergone in just the past few days. The chill of winter has almost completely disappeared, and I think most of us would agree that it's finally feeling quite pleasant. We've arrived at the kind of temperatures that are close to normal/average for the season, after a long long wait. Right now it appears that we'll see more sunshine today than we did yesterday, despite the continued threat of some periods of high cloudiness -- and that should push us to a new high temp for the season and for 2014.
Although there is a slight chance of a random shower somewhere over the mountains this afternoon, we're still dealing with a basically stable atmosphere that should keep most precipitation development at bay for another 24 hours at least. Our next storm system will develop in association with an upper-level disturbance now centered over southern Iran. This wave of energy and circulation will move to northern Pakistan by Tuesday morning, and then across Jammu & Kashmir Tuesday night into Wednesday morning. I'm still not all that impressed with the potential for this system to measure up to a few that we've seen during the past six weeks -- but be prepared for a few periods of showers and thunderstorms between roughly mid-day tomorrow (Mon) and Tuesday evening. Temperatures will cool off several degrees as well.
There could be a couple of lingering showers on Wednesday, otherwise things are looking fairly calm and quiet for the latter part of the week.
