We're starting off with another beauty this morning -- clear skies and pleasantly mild temperatures as the sun peeks over the mountains. I'm recording an overnight low of 62.4F (16.9C), and there has been no rainfall since last report. The humidity stands at 41%.
Yesterday afternoon's thundershower episode reminds us that we've nearly always got to be on guard here along the Dhauladhars during the warm seasons. It takes only the most subtle differences in temperatures and wind direction in various layers of the atmosphere to trigger instability -- as you know if you've spent much time here. Sometimes I get tired of making the "be aware and prepared" comment, but it's really the truth.
Will it happen again today? The large scale features don't say so, but we'll just have to watch what starts percolating over the mountains toward the noon hour, since the lower levels are going to be warming rapidly this morning. In general, it looks like we've got a more stable situation lining itself up for a couple of days, but then the chance of scattered showers and thundershowers increases again as the weekend arrives.
Our temperatures haven't warmed up at all in the last three days, but that should change as we finish out the week. We're going to get a taste of the air mass being produced by a gigantic ridge of high pressure sprawled out to our southwest -- and that is still expected to provide us with our warmest temps of the season and the year during the coming few days.
