Saturday's stats:
Low temp: 37.8ºF (3.2ºC)
High temp: 49.2ºF (9.6ºC)
Precipitation: 0.27" (7mm)
Our weekend storm system got its act together a bit faster than expected, with some very light sprinkles/drizzle appearing around the area early this morning, and then light to moderate precipitation of various types in full swing by the early afternoon. All of that precip total you see in the stats above was in the form of rain at my location just below the mountaineering center -- but there were snow flakes mixed in at times just uphill, and accumulating snow on the ground all the way down to Galu Temple and similar elevations. Reports from Triund say that there's been nearly a foot of snow up there since this morning.
There's a break in the action in progress right now, and the latest models are showing some disagreement on the way forward. Some of the data is pointing to redevelopment of rain/sleet and snow overnight into at least the first half of Sunday, as colder air continues to pour in, in the middle and upper-levels of the atmosphere. But there is another model that is indicating that we've already had the vast majority of our precipitation from this system. Satellite pics would suggest that there is more on the way during the coming 12-18 hours, as the upper-level low pressure circulation drops southeastward across Kashmir. Whatever happens, we're in the midst of a major bout of cold weather which will hang around for at least another couple of days...
