friendly weekend... (am.12.nov.11)>

a beautiful, sunny morning underway... the current humidity reading is 58%, and the overnight low has been a relatively mild 56.3F (13.5C).  i measured 0.02" (less than 1mm) of rainfall in the past 24 hours.  some new snow has fallen up on the dhauladars, but i haven't heard anything specific about amounts yet.

things are looking good for the next few days, as our generally mild and dry november continues on.  the upper-level disturbance which moved through on thursday and friday kept us in and out of the clouds (more in), and brought a paltry round or two of light showers, but that system has now dissipated.  it is being replaced by a flat west-to-east flow at the jetstream level which looks benign at this point.

we should see lots of sunshine into early next week... but will still have to watch for the afternoon build-up of clouds over the mountains, and perhaps a shower up there, especially today.  temperatures remain above normal, but should be cooling slightly over the course of the next three or four days.  we have yet to taste any truly colder, winter-like temps this season... but i hear no complaints.

SATURDAY: morning sunshine, with some clouds during the PM.  slight chance of a brief shower up the mountain towards triund.  temps still above normal.
high: 18C (65F)

low: 12C (53F)

daytime high: 17C (62F)
