milder air intruding.. (am.7.nov.11)>

we have clear skies just before sunrise this morning.  my current temp (and overnight low) here at the top of mcleod ganj is 53.2F (11.8C), with a humidity reading of 62%.

today is going to be interesting, from a weathergeek perspective. a huge ridge of high pressure is building across the area throughout all layers of the atmosphere... that implies sinking, drying and warming of the airmass.  however, if the mid-levels warm more quickly than the surface, we could end up with an inversion, which could cause a layer of clouds to develop by the afternoon.  i'm very anxious to see how that plays out.

for now, i'm going for a generally sunny scenario, along with a healthy warming trend as we head through the next few days...  we could see temps well above normal for november by the middle of the week.  rain chances are virtually nil until friday, when we could get clipped by an upper-level disturbance that will be breaking down our high pressure ridge.
