hazy and warm... (am.4.may.11)>

skies are partly cloudy early this morning, and it's quite hazy... i have a comfortably mild 67F (19.5C) just before sunrise.  current satellite pics are showing no organized weather systems anywhere across pakistan and northern india.

temperatures will continue to climb today, as high pressure in the upper atmosphere strengthens.  this warming will likely continue through tomorrow, bringing us the highest temps of the spring/summer season thus far.  sunshine should continue to dominate for another couple of days, but the haze and dust are on the increase, unfortunately.  also... keep in mind the slight risk of an afternoon thundershower developing over the mountains.

there is a disturbance scheduled to move through the area between friday and sunday.  the latest computer models aren't looking as robust with this thing as they were a day or two ago... but still, it could bring us a better chance of some scattered showers and thunderstorms, and cool us off a few degrees.  a little rainfall is welcome every few days this time of year to chase away the haze, if nothing else!
