Wednesday's stats:
Low temp: 54.5F (12.5C)
High temp: 68.2F (20.1C)
Rainfall: none
There are a lot of clouds hugging the Dhauladhars just before sunset this evening, but it's mostly clear to the west and south. There was some scattered shower and thundershower development over the mountains north and east of us this afternoon, but we never saw a trace of that here in McLeod, and were able to enjoy a day of mixed sunshine and clouds. Our temps were considerably warmer today than they've been the last three days, but are still running more than 10F (6C) below normal for the middle of May.
The weather news is generally good for the remainder of this week, and with minor exceptions, into much of next week as well. In the near term we're going to see our upper-level flow turn more to the west and northwest, with warming occurring from the surface into the highest levels of the atmosphere between now and late Friday. Apart from potential instability generating an isolated shower over the mountains during the PM hours, rain chances should be low. Although our temperatures probably won't reach the norm for this time of year (around 82F/28C), it will at least be pleasantly warm as we head into the weekend.
We do have to keep an eye on a weak upper-level circulation which will be moving into central Pakistan by Sunday, bringing us a slightly better chance of a few showers and thundershowers between late Saturday and Monday. But as I mentioned this morning, this system isn't looking like it will do very much as it weakens on approach...
