Wednesday's stats:
Low temp: 44.2ºF (6.8ºC)
High temp: 54.0ºF (12.2ºC)
Precipitation: 0.35" (1mm) -- updated thru midnight
Our weather this morning was very very nice... compared to what has started to happen this evening. We had much more sunshine than expected, with temperatures warming up nicely until the early afternoon. After that, the anticipated increase in cloudiness began in earnest, leaving us with thick cloud cover and finally the development of occasional light to moderate rain showers and very gusty winds this evening.
The center of a strong late-winter storm system is sitting over the middle of Afghanistan right now, and will bring us some rather unsavory weather conditions during the coming 36 hours or so. There is plenty of moisture available, along with a lot of rotation/upward lift associated with a strong low pressure circulation aloft as it crashes up against the front ranges of the north Indian Himalayas. Right now it looks like we could see around 2.5 to 3.5 inches (7-9cm) of rain between tonight and early Friday. The snow line will stay well above us... with 2-3 feet of new snow up toward Triund. They are absolutely buried up there after what's happened since early January.
Most of this moisture will depart over the weekend, as a very deep and cold upper-level low pressure center passes overhead between Sunday and Tuesday of next week. Periods of rain/snow showers are likely during that period, as temperatures plunge well below normal for late Feb.
