weak disturbances... (am.25.apr.14)>

We have mostly cloudy skies at sunrise this morning, for a change of pace.  I'm recording the mildest overnight low temp of the season and the year -- 60.4F (15.8C) -- and there has been no rainfall since last report.  The current humidity reading is 38%.

A couple of weak upper-level disturbances will be flirting with north India during the coming 36 hours or so, and the first one has already stirred up a band of clouds which is moving through this morning.  It looks like there will be some sun appearing though, and with a marginally unstable atmosphere, we'll have to watch for a risk of a random shower or two today into this evening.  The next disturbance will cross the area tomorrow (Sat), bringing us a mix of clouds and sun, along with the potential for a shower or thundershower at some point.  There's still no indication that we're in for anything more than fleeting, light amounts of rain from all of this, but of course it's best to be prepared and aware of the changes.

The warmest air mass of the season (by far) is in the process of nudging northward into Himachal Pradesh, so as long as the sun doesn't get completely pushed out of the equation today and tomorrow, our temperatures will continue to moderate.  A building summertime high pressure ridge is still on schedule for Sunday through Wednesday of next week, providing us with a good amount of sunshine, and temperatures which will finally rise above normal for the season.
