Monday's stats:
Low temp: 46.4ºF (8.0ºC)
High temp: 56.6F (13.7ºC)
Precipitation: none
We had lots of back-and-forth between clouds and sun all morning into the early afternoon, when those high clouds finally took over and put an end to the rising temperature trend. Still, it's been a very pleasant day for early February.
It's been very interesting to watch the various computer models' attempts to handle the development and progress of our next winter storm system which is now swirling away over northeastern Iran. We've had a few remarkable storm systems since early January, but this one could be the most intense of them all, at least according to the latest data and forecasts. A vast pool of very cold air aloft will collide with moisture being drawn northward from the Arabian Sea right here along the front ranges of the north Indian Himalayas... producing a widespread area of heavy precipitation during the latter part of this week.
As of now, the heaviest rain/snow should occur between mid-day Wednesday and mid-day Friday, with a snow line definitely worth keeping a very close eye on. Moderate to heavy snow could materialize in or very near to McLeod Ganj on Thursday into Friday, maybe wreaking havoc during the last part of Tibetan Losar celebrations. If you are a true weathergeek, then you understand that forecasts/conditions can change quickly around here... so be both aware and prepared.
THE 7-DAY OUTLOOK (above) has forecast specifics.
