clouds in control... (pm.10.nov.11)>

we have a mostly cloudy sky at sunset this evening, with the humidity holding near 50%.  despite the clouds which thickened up steadily throughout the day, we reached a very mild high temp of 66.7F (19.3C) just after 11am.  there has been no rainfall, so far.

upper-level energy is now moving into northern india, along with a pocket of much colder air aloft.  that will steadily destabilize the atmosphere during the coming 24 hours, which could lead to a period or two of rain or thundershowers.  two of the four main computer models are indicating at least some light precipitation totals across our area by tomorrow night, while the other two models keep rain/snow confined to the higher elevations.  don't be surprised if we get a couple of showers and maybe some thunder here in mcleod... but be especially prepared if you will be up above triund.

it looks like we'll quickly revert to generally sunny autumn weather after this system clears out of here over the weekend, as temperatures drop several degrees by early next week...
