not so bright... (am.13.apr.14)>

It's cloudy at sunrise this morning, and there has been a breeze kicking up at times.  There may have been a few sprinkles of rain at some point overnight, but my rain gauge is showing nothing measurable.  I've recorded a low temp of 54.5F (12.5C) which has occurred just in the past half-hour or so.  Humidity is 35%.

Nothing much came of that shower/thundershower development which was just getting going over northern Pakistan last night around 9:00pm.  This morning's satellite pics show numerous patches of cloudiness across northern India -- extending as far south as western Uttar Pradesh -- with some scattered rain showers likely embedded.

A wave of energy moving into extreme northern Pakistan this morning will sweep across the northern half of Kashmir by tonight, and that's going to keep things rather unstable across our area during the next 18 hours or so.  I'm still not very impressed with our chances of getting any widespread, long-lasting rain, but scattered showers and some thundershowers are a good bet across much of north India as this weak system moves through.  If we're not able to see at least a couple of hours of sunshine at some point today, temperatures will be on the cool side, compared to what we've enjoyed the last few days.

It's looking relatively quiet on Monday and Tuesday, but then yet another series of weak disturbances will be dropping in from the west-northwest for the middle and latter parts of the week.  Although showers and/or thundershowers will be of the scattered variety once again, it's going to be another period of unsettled/unstable weather, preventing our temperatures from rising much higher than they already have recently.
