an unsettled period... (pm.11.feb.19)>

Monday's stats:

Low temp: 42.8ºF (6.0ºC)
High temp: 54.9ºF (12.7ºC)
Precipitation: none

We had a mix of sunshine and high clouds today, with the sunshine winning the majority in the final tally.  Temperatures continue their steady rise after the intense winter storm we experienced during the middle of last week.

Our pattern is still generally unsettled, with yet another storm system expected to sweep across northern India on Thursday and Friday.  In advance, we'll continue to see some waves/pulses of high cloudiness, with at least a mentionable risk of some fleeting light rain showers.  Temperatures will moderate a bit further, especially our overnight lows between now and Thursday morning.

Models have become more aggressive in terms of the potential for some significant rainfall late Thursday through Friday, though this time it looks fairly likely that the snow line will remain well above McLeod Ganj.  Still... there could be another foot or more of snow above Galu Temple and of course on up toward Triund.  Our active winter of 2019 continues...
