It has been noticeably cooler the last few days... actually, our temperatures have been on a downward slide since the weekend. There has been significant cooling in the middle and upper levels of the atmosphere, and at our elevation around 1800m (6000ft), we're getting our share of that.
There is a disturbance aloft that is spinning across Himalayan north India as well, and if we had any significant moisture availability, we'd be getting some rain and snow showers in our general area. There could still be some very random, isolated, brief showers of rain, sleet and/or snow overnight into Thursday, but it looks like any kind of significant precipitation is very unlikely.
We're running well below normal in terms of precipitation for this month of December, and it looks like we won't be adding much to that during these final several days of the month and the year. Looking ahead to the first week or so of the new year, there's no major storm system on the horizon... but we'll be watching and hoping for some kind of a pattern shift that would bring a round or two of much-needed winter rain and snowfall.
