monday evening (31jan)>

i recorded a high temp of 52F (11C) this afternoon on tushita road in upper mcleod ganj... pretty good, considering the occasional clouds we had for most of the morning.  the computer models are showing some very aggressive warming this week, and we'll see how much of that is reflected in our high temperatures.  there will also be a few periods of mainly high clouds, but at this point, it looks like sunshine will be the dominant factor until about thursday.

a slow-moving, slowly developing storm is still expected to ease into the area by the end of the week, but with relatively warm temps in place, precipitation should fall in the form of rain rather than snow for the majority of us...

MONDAY NIGHT: clear to partly cloudy skies.
low: 6C (42F)

TUESDAY: a mix of sunshine and a few high clouds.  milder...
high: 12C (54F)

WEDNESDAY: partly to mostly sunny and pleasantly mild.
high: 13C (55F)

THURSDAY: increasing clouds, breezy and mild, with a slight chance of a late-day shower.
high: 13C (56F)

FRIDAY: partly to mostly cloudy with one or two light rain showers possible.
high: 12C (54F)

SATURDAY: mostly cloudy with a better chance of some rain, possibly mixed with snow at higher elevations.  turning cooler...
high: 10C (50F)
