Monday's stats:
Low temp: 35.2F (1.8C)
High temp: 48.6F (9.2C)
Precipitation: none
What a day it has been. From start to finish, we've had sunny skies, with only one or two very short-lived cumulus clouds attempting to build over the highest mountain peaks during the mid-afternoon. Although temperatures are still way below normal for this time of year, it was much milder than the last three days, and very pleasant and refreshing in the direct sunshine. The sky remains clear just after sunset.
The building ridge of high pressure we've been talking about and anticipating is definitely doing its job, and should continue to provide us with some quiet, bright and milder weather for another day or so. We'll probably get an even bigger bump in temperatures tomorrow, and if there isn't much high cloud intrusion, the sunshine combined with this warmer air mass should get us a bit closer to the norm for the middle of February.
The first in our next series of upper-level disturbances will move in on Wednesday. Right now it seems like rain chances won't be great -- at least here on this side of the Dhauladhars -- but we're likely to see more cloudiness as the latter part of the week unfolds, with this recent warming trend coming to a halt. It also looks like we could see a stronger system develop across northern India by Friday night, bringing us an increasing chance of some significant rainfall (with snow likely remaining above us this time) through Saturday into perhaps early Sunday.
