himalayan paradise... (pm.19.oct.11)>

just another picture perfect sunset in progress here in himalayan paradise.  sunshine was easy to come by once again today, with humidity generally in the 40-50% range.  i recorded a high temp of 71.8F (22.1C)... a solid 2C/4F above normal for this time of year.

starting tomorrow, our weather pattern, at least in the upper atmosphere, is going to begin shifting again.  cooler air will flow in aloft, with some cooler air expected here at our elevation as well, as we move toward the weekend.  the computer models are showing some scattered light precipitation breaking out by late thursday or friday, but we'll have to see whether that actually materializes.  a nice rainfall would be very nice indeed, after nearly three weeks with hardly a drop.  be prepared for a good chance of snow showers in the mountains above about 3200m (11,000ft).

some of the sunshine we've been relishing for the past several days will be sacrificed with the arrival of this disturbance... and it appears things may remain rather unsettled into the first part of next week.
