Wednesday's stats:
Low temp: 43.5ºF (6.4ºC)
High temp: 52.8ºF (11.6ºC)
Precipitation: none
Some snow showers have occurred along the Dhauladhars during the past 24 hours, but as far as I've seen there has been no precipitation whatsoever here in our immediate area. We've had plenty of cloudiness, however... as mild temperatures this morning gave way to that anticipated push of cooler air which arrived around mid-day, and caused our temps to fall several degrees throughout the afternoon.
There's very little to be concerned about during the coming two or three days... as temperatures gradually moderate again, into a range that will be significantly milder than normal for the middle of January. Sunshine will be available, but there will be another increase in clouds on the way as we progress through the weekend.
A huge upper-level low pressure system is going to ease in from the west, causing that increase in weekend cloudiness. This system still looks very ominous, and could very well be the most intense winter storm we've experienced this season thus far, bringing a mix of rain and snow beginning either Sunday night or Monday. Right now the models are showing an off and on mix of wintry precipitation and progressively colder temperatures through much of next week. For weathergeeks... this one should be interesting to follow.
