Wednesday's stats:
Low temp: 58.3F (14.6C)
High temp: 71.9F (22.2C)
Rainfall: none
It's a beautiful evening as mountain clouds rapidly dissipate, leaving us with mostly clear skies. Today has gone pretty much according to plan, with abundant morning sunshine yielding to the development of those mountain clouds by mid-day into the afternoon hours -- with even a couple of isolated showers in the highest elevations, according to the satellite view. Temperatures today were very comfortable again, though no warmer than yesterday.
Moderate instability all along the higher Himalayan chains this afternoon was due to some slightly cooler air in the upper-atmosphere which is temporarily sinking southward. At the same time, the lower levels are maintaining their warmth and even warming further in some areas, leading to the development of those clouds and isolated showers/thundershowers. Tomorrow the upper levels are expected to resume warming up again, and that should erase most of the PM instability. We've now had four days in a row without any rain here in McLeod, which is quite an accomplishment this season, and it looks like we'll make it at least until Friday evening before there's a chance of that changing. A fresh disturbance will swing by well to our north, providing us with at least a slight chance of a couple of showers and thundershowers between late Friday and Saturday evening.
That weak system will quickly exit, setting the stage for the most impressive high pressure ridge and bubble of warm air of this season to build across north India early next week. The data has been consistently pointing to temperatures rising above normal for the end of April -- making it feel like genuine summertime by Monday or Tuesday.
