rebound in progress... (am.15.may.14)>

We have bright sunny skies early on this Thursday morning.  It has been a quiet night, with a low temp of 56.5F (13.6C) and no rainfall.  Humidity this morning stands at 40%.

The main weather event of the coming several days is going to be a gradual warming trend, which should take us back closer to where we should be for mid-May.  A ridge of high pressure is trying to rebuild across north India, which will allow temperatures to rise moderately from the surface into the upper atmosphere between now and Saturday.  The afternoon mountain instability factor is something we'll have to watch -- and it could generate a good amount of clouds and perhaps an isolated PM shower -- otherwise we can expect a majority of sunshine into at least the first part of the weekend.

There is yet another upper-level disturbance/circulation however, that will edge its way toward northern India by Sunday, and that's going to increase our risk of a few showers and thundershowers.  Right now it looks like the best chance of getting hit with something would be between Saturday afternoon and Sunday evening -- with perhaps an afternoon thundershower on Monday as well.  But this little system appears to be nowhere near as ominous and threatening as the one we're just now recovering from.
