limited impact... (am.13.jan.19)>

I've recorded 0.33" (8mm) of rain and melted snow overnight here at my location on Tushita Road just below the mountaineering center.  The low temp has been 36.0ºF (2.2ºC), at least as of 8:00am.

An upper-level low pressure circulation is centered over extreme northwestern Kashmir early this morning... moving eastward.  The limited moisture supply ahead of that circulation will be pushed east of us this morning... so apart from a few periods of rain and snow showers around the area between now and maybe early afternoon, most of the precipitation should be over.  As we were expecting, this system has paled in comparison to what we were dealing with exactly one week ago... but still, there have been several inches of fresh snow deposited in the higher elevations above town.

Things will clear out and quiet down a bit early this week, but the pattern will remain active, with more weather to look out for during the coming week to ten days...  THE 7-DAY OUTOOK (above) features the forecast details.
