Saturday's stats:
Low temp: 38.7ºF (3.7ºC)
High temp: 52.1ºF (11.2ºC)
Precipitation: none
It was nice to see that our anticipated warm-up did indeed materialize today. We had a lot of sunshine, with a few high/thin cirrus clouds and some afternoon mountain cumulus mixed in. It has been a very cold and wet couple of weeks, and today's high temp at my location here in the upper part of town was the mildest/warmest I've recorded since Monday the 21st of January.
An impressive mid-winter high pressure ridge is now building across northern India, and will positively influence our weather situation during the next couple of days. Our warming trend will continue, with a good amount of sunshine only hindered by a few occasional waves of high clouds.
Tibetan New Year (Losar) is on the horizon, and right now it looks like the three day holiday will start out generally OK, though there will be an increase in cloudiness on Tuesday. The latest run of computer models/data is advertising an incredibly fierce winter storm system however -- with rain/snow chances increasing by late Wednesday into Thursday, and then a blast of colder air with rain turning to snow mid-day Thursday through Friday. It's been an active winter up to this point, but this next system (at least as of now) is looking more intense than what we've seen thus far.
