losing our recent perfection... (pm.18.dec.17)>

Mid-December weather does not get any better than this -- the last three days we've had almost unlimited sunshine, a very fresh and clean air mass, low humidity, and temperatures much more like early November.  It's been a very nice recovery after what we endured last week.

There are some changes on the way, however, which will bring in more cloudiness, and at least a mentionable risk of some light precipitation during the upcoming mid-week period.  An upper-level disturbance currently over the northern Arabian Sea into extreme southwest Pakistan will shift northeastward during the coming 48-72 hours or so, but will not really achieve any impressive degree of development as it sweeps across northwest India.  Still, we could have a few scattered light showers during the Wednesday/Thursday range, as our temperatures cool down just a few degrees.

By Friday, things will stabilize again, with extended range models showing nothing of any major consequence affecting our weather pattern all the way into the new year.  Stay tuned in case that scenario should change...
