We have some streaks of high, thin cirrus clouds in the midst of sunny skies early on this Saturday morning. I've recorded a low temp of 50.5F (10.3C) overnight, which is the mildest since the 5th of this month. Humidity is hovering around 33%.
Steady warming is occurring in the middle and upper-levels of the atmosphere, as a west-southwesterly flow continues to develop across Pakistan and the northwest one-third of India. There are also a couple of very weak disturbances embedded in that flow -- but with almost no moisture available and a generally stable atmospheric temperature profile, it looks like these occasional thin, high clouds are all we're going to come up with. Temperatures should be on their way up to the warmest levels we've seen since the waning days of October... more than two weeks ago... especially tomorrow into Monday. Should continue to be fantastic weather for hiking and trekking in the mountains, with good views all around.
A batch of colder air will be flirting with northern India by the middle of next week, but it remains to be seen whether it will come surging southward or not. Even if it does, a turn back to unstable/wet weather appears unlikely during the coming week or more.
