on a roll... (am.04.jun.14)>

We have full sunshine and not one cloud to be seen early on this Wednesday morning.  It's also the warmest morning of the year according to my books -- with a predawn low temp of 68.0F (20.0C).  There has been no rainfall since last report, and the current humidity reading is 35%.

There are no changes to the overall large-scale weather pattern expected during the coming week or more, as a weak west-northwesterly flow in the upper atmosphere continues to dominate.  The average moisture content of the air mass in place across northern India is expected to continue dropping as well, as temperatures rise higher and higher.  We're poised for a new high temp of the season and the year this afternoon, then it looks like we'll be transitioning from very warm to HOT as we head into the weekend.  This entire spring/summer season we've only had a couple of days when temperatures actually rose ABOVE normal -- but we could end up with several days in a row of above normal temps by the time the middle of the month arrives.

This pattern does not support significant rain chances for us, but again, let's hold that rather loosely.  We will still have to keep an eye on the cloud development over the mountains around the noon hour into the early afternoon on a daily basis, to make sure our mountain micro-climate factor doesn't surprise us with a sudden thundershower.
