weekend fluctuations... (pm.30.may.14)>

Friday's stats:

Low temp: 65.3F (18.5C)
High temp: 77.9F (25.5C)
Rainfall: 0.01" (less than 1mm)

Our sky is almost totally clear this evening before sunset -- a very nice end to a day of variability.  We started off with mostly cloudy skies, occasional very light rain showers, some thunder, and gusty winds at times, with just a few glimpses of sunshine here and there.  Major improvement kicked in by about 2:30pm however, and that has left us with a mostly sunny, calm and pleasantly warm afternoon and evening.  Despite those showers, the rain was barely enough to register a measurement.

As is so often the case around here, we find ourselves on the battle line between swelteringly hot conditions to our south, and some much cooler air to our north.  Along this line, there is a train of upper-level disturbances tracking from west-to-east, and that's going to keep us flirting with periods of instability all the way through the weekend.  It's also going to cause our temperatures to fluctuate dramatically, depending on the alternating periods of clouds, showers, and sunshine.  Be aware of the fact that showers and thunderstorms could develop at any time of the day or night -- all the way through Sunday night.

The next pattern change is expected by Monday into Tuesday, as more stable conditions set up across most of northern India.  That will mean diminishing rain chances, along with temperatures near or just a bit below normal for the first week of June.
