*Update @ 9:57am... There is zero cloud development as of now, so perhaps the sun will remain with us today (?)
---------------------------------------------------------
It is hazy, but sunny early on this Sunday morning of Diwali. I've recorded a low temp of 50.4F (10.2C) here on Tushita Road in the upper part of town, and there has been no rainfall overnight. Humidity is currently rather low -- at 48%.

The day is starting out beautiful enough, but despite the calm and quiet pattern over northern India, we'll have to be on guard again for some cloud development along the Dhauladhars by the noon hour which may eclipse the sun for a while this afternoon. Otherwise a high pressure ridge in the mid- and upper-levels of the atmosphere should keep things fairly stable during the first two or three days of this new week -- which should translate into a good amount of sun for us. Temperatures are a shade below normal for the early part of November, but we should see a bit of a warm-up tomorrow (Mon) and Tuesday before a new storm system starts to affect us for the middle and latter parts of the week.
This morning's computer model output isn't looking quite as ominous for Wednesday and Thursday as previous runs of data were... but it still looks like a fairly deep low pressure area is going to be forming over the western Himalayas, providing us with another decent shot at some measurable rainfall, along with another drop in temperatures. Heavy snow looks like a good bet for the higher mountains and passes -- so keep close tabs on forecast developments if that concerns you.
Have a safe and happy Diwali!
