For many days we've been looking forward to Easter Sunday for a definitive turn to a nicer weather pattern, and it is indeed looking great out there just before sunrise. HAPPY EASTER to all who observe and celebrate. We have 100% clear skies, and I'm recording a rather chilly low temperature of 51.3F (10.7C) and a humidity reading of 40%. There has been no rainfall overnight.
There are of course no guarantees here along the slopes of the Dhauladhars, but the overall pattern is looking pretty good for most of this coming week. The most substantial warming of the season is being projected by all available computer models -- from the surface all the way into the upper-levels of the atmosphere. We'll have a general westerly flow aloft, with only a couple of very minor ripples drifting through between now and Friday.
The two things to be aware of are 1) the potential for the build-up of cumulus clouds over the mountains during the afternoons, leading to a risk of an isolated thundershower up-mountain from us. And 2) some rather extensive patches of high cloudiness developing at some point. Of course those two factors can restrict our upward temperature movement, but right now it looks like we should be approaching 74-75F (23-24C) before this week comes to an end. That's almost where we should be at the end of April.
