Sunday's stats:
Low temp: 36.5ºF (2.5ºC)
High temp: 46.7ºF (8.2ºC)
Precipitation: 0.03" (less than 1mm) -- trace of snow
There was a lot of back-and-forth between sunshine and clouds today, and also a surprise period of snow showers and even a clap or two of thunder between roughly 3:15 and 4:30pm. Although temperatures here at ground level were well above freezing, there is still a very cold air mass hovering overhead -- cold enough to generate convection, and those snow grains/pellets during the late afternoon.
That very cold air aloft is reluctant to get out of here, and with sunshine causing warming in the surface layers tomorrow morning, we could see another brief rain/snow shower during the afternoon. Milder air will try to nudge its way in on Tuesday and Wednesday, with a good amount of sunshine Tuesday, but then rapidly increasing cloudiness again on Wednesday, ahead of yet another storm system.
The risk of some rain showers will appear by Wednesday evening, with a good chance of some periods of light rain Wednesday night and Thursday. This next system is currently looking to be too warm for snow in and around McLeod Ganj, but there will be more snow added to the massive pack in the higher elevations above town. We're still watching a fickle and changeable pattern as we move toward Losar, though the latest computer models are not looking as ugly as they were a couple of days ago. Of course we'll keep watch.
