It's cloudy and breezy early on this Friday morning, with some light rain showers scattered around the area as well. We've had some thunder, spotty light showers, and occasionally gusty winds since just after 3:00am, but there has been only a trace of precipitation at my location in the upper part of town. The overnight low of 65.3F (18.5C) has occurred just in the past few minutes -- but temps hovered close to 70F (21C) nearly all night long.
The first in a series of new upper-level disturbances is pushing across northern India this morning, as it rides up and over that ridge of high pressure parked to our southwest. It was looking like shower/thunder action wouldn't show up until sometime today, but it became apparent last evening that we could end up getting something in our neighborhood overnight. Instability generated by these disturbances is going to put us under the gun for occasional shower and/or thunderstorm development both daytime and nighttime during the coming few days -- but there will be periods of sunshine as well in the midst of it all.
The warmest air mass of the season which finally nudged its way into Himachal the last couple of days will remain very very close -- and that means our air mass holds the potential to deliver seasonably warm temperatures, as long as we can get some sunny breaks between periods of clouds and showers. A return to stabilization looks likely by Monday or Tuesday...
