clouds to sun... (am.25.feb.12)>

a gray saturday morning underway, with a healthy layer of mid- and high clouds across the area.  i recorded an overnight low of 47.3F (8.5C), and the rain gauge is empty.

satellite photos show a broken layer of high overcast across much of northern india this morning... extending as far south as delhi.  there may be a few sprinkles or very light showers embedded in the clouds in a couple of spots, but nothing more than that.  these clouds should break up/move out towards mid-day, leaving us with generally clear to partly cloudy skies for the rest of the weekend.

the overall weather pattern is undergoing some major adjustments for the end of the month, which will lead to a drier, milder, and sunnier scenario by the middle of the coming week.  before that happens, there is yet one more fast-moving disturbance scheduled to fly through here on monday.  it could stir up a quick shower or thundershower... but at this point, i think most of the precipitation will remain to our north in the mountains...
