Friday's stats:
Low temp: 59.9F (15.5C)
High temp: 75.6F (24.2C)
Rainfall: none
It's a stunner of an evening, with mostly clear skies and pleasant temps during this hour before sunset. Today has been pretty much a stunning day overall as well, with lots of sunshine, comfortably warm temperatures, and just a moderate build-up of cumulus clouds over the mountains during the afternoon hours. We've now had three days in a row without a drop of rain in McLeod, and that's the first time that's happened since the end of April.
Weather patterns are dynamic -- always evolving -- and that's going to be the case this weekend into next week. Right now there is an upper-level disturbance and circulation centered over eastern Iran which will be slowly moving to the east-northeast during the next two to three days. At the same time, we've got a building ridge of high pressure over northwest India which is going to create a roadblock, keeping that disturbance from ever being able to penetrate our area. Computer models have recently backed off considerably on shower and thundershower potential here in Himachal over the weekend, but it still looks like we have a mentionable chance of something popping up between late tomorrow and Sunday evening. Otherwise, get ready for a good amount of sunshine and temperatures which will warm even further.
Very warm air in the lower levels combined with a bit of cooling aloft is going to provide us with a marginally unstable atmosphere for the majority of next week. That means we can't rule out a random PM thundershower or two at some point, while we enjoy temps just barely on the cool side of normal for the middle of May. Personally, I am very glad that we've been able to avoid (so far) the truly hot weather that usually starts to show up by this time of year.
