Thursday's stats:
Low temp: 40.5ºF (4.7ºC)
High temp: 51.2ºF (10.7ºC)
Precipitation: none
Data is looking more and more interesting as the weekend approaches. We've been talking about the potential for some significant winter precipitation in our area between Friday night and early Monday morning, and the latest models are locking in on that scenario.
A deep upper-level low pressure system is now developing over central Asia, and will be moving east-southeastward, with the center of circulation forecast to be right over Himalayan north India by Sunday morning. Although there is not a tremendous amount of moisture expected to be drawn into this system, the 'lift' along the mountain slopes as the upper-level low pressure and very cold air aloft move into our area will be quite dramatic. Significant snowfall is almost a certainty above Dharamkot and Naddi, with a good chance of measurable/accumulating snowfall even as low as our elevation here in McLeod Ganj.
After this system moves out on Monday, the overall weather pattern looks like it will remain rather active deeper into and through the month... Follow details on THE 7-DAY OUTLOOK page, located on a link just above.
