enjoying a break... (pm.16.feb.12)>

we have a pleasant evening in progress... with partly cloudy skies and milder temps than we've seen all week.  i recorded a high temp of 52.3F (11.3C), thanks to the fact that the sunshine definitely won the battle with the clouds today.

our latest wiggle aloft could do no more than muster some scattered clouds today... mainly over the mountains.  tomorrow looks even better, with a good amount of sunshine and slightly milder temperatures expected.  enjoy it while it lasts, because starting on saturday, we'll come under the influence of the next upper-level storm system to our west, which looks like it will move in slowly, but then be even slower to depart.  computer models are forecasting wet weather for the majority of next week.

the good news is that warmer air is bubbling up from the south, and should cause temperatures to rise in all levels of the atmosphere during the next several days.  at this point, it looks like the snow line should remain well above mcleod, naddi and dharamkot as the next batch of moisture moves in...
