*Update @ 3:02pm... There have been a few sprinkles and light rain showers scattered around the area since just after noon. Satellite pics show the obligatory band of cloudiness hugging the Dhauladhars. I've had 0.03" (1mm) in my rain gauge, and though the sun is shining off and on, there are still a few sprinkles here in the upper part of town. :-(
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Sunrise this morning looks very similar to sunset last evening -- with haze and some patchy clouds hovering around. It has been a quiet night however, after two nights in a row of gusty winds and scattered light rain showers. I've recorded no rainfall overnight, with just a trace in the past 24 hours. Temperatures this morning are not quite as cool as I was expecting... my low temp of 51.6F (10.9C) has occurred just in the past half hour. Humidity is 52%.
A generally uneventful weather pattern is setting up across northern India, and should remain with us for the next three or four days. There is a flat west to east flow overhead in the mid-levels and up to the jet stream level of the atmosphere, with a weak high pressure ridge expected to develop during the early part of the new week. That should keep things stable and quiet for us, with temperatures remaining near to slightly below normal for early November. We should see a good amount of sunshine as well -- though it is still amazing that we've never broken through to a consistently sunny pattern this fall season so far. Cloudiness along the Dhauladhars has been more stubborn than I can ever remember, but let's see what might happen this weekend.
The extended data for the middle of next week is still looking very interesting, with the development of an unusually strong storm system for this time of year expected by Tuesday night or early Wednesday across northern Pakistan and northwest India. There's plenty of time to watch how it all comes together, so check back here for further updates during the coming few days.
