bouncing back... (am.23.feb.14)>

Other than some light haze and a few thin wisps of cirrus clouds, it's mostly clear just before sunrise on this Sunday morning.  My overnight low temp of 43.2F (6.2C) has occurred just recently, and there has been no additional precipitation overnight.  The humidity reading is 48%.

Our now departed and defunct storm system exerted most of its muscle during a six hour period very early on Saturday morning -- providing us with 1.12" (2.8cm) of rain -- and is now out of the picture.  That's going to leave us with a much nicer period of weather during the next two to three days, as some weak high pressure ridging develops across northern India.  We should see consistently milder temperatures from the surface into the upper-levels of the atmosphere, with generally stable conditions during this period.  There will still be some cloudiness on occasion, but I think sunshine will be a little more prominent during the first half of this week.

We've spent nearly all of this month in the below average category, as far as temperatures are concerned -- and though it will be milder the next few days, I doubt whether we'll be able to hit 60F (15.6C), which is the normal high temp as we near the end of February.

Yet another period of potentially wet weather may be on the way for the end of the week, along with a downturn in temperatures once again...
