We're now only about a week or maybe eight days away from a major shift in this weather pattern that has kept things dry and uneventful for the last couple of months. I don't think many people are following along or aware of changes ahead... my fault, since I didn't post here at all for more than five months... and thus, most of my several hundred daily readers have stopped checking in.
Anyway... here's the deal: A very strong upper-level low pressure circulation is projected to develop just to our west, across Afghanistan and Pakistan, by the end of this coming weekend. At least according to the latest data, it will be very deep and very intense, drawing significant moisture northward from the Arabian Sea. At the same time, a big mass of unseasonably cold air aloft will be pooling to our west and northwest. Although all of this is still several days away, current data points to an outbreak of significant precipitation across the Himalayas of northern India, which will probably continue (off and on) for several days, starting on Monday (11 Dec) of next week.
I have to admit that I am pretty excited, in anticipation of some active weather after a very long spell of nothingness.
