all coming together... (pm.10.dec.17)>


This graphic/depiction of 36hr precipitation amounts (listed in inches) between noon tomorrow (Mon) and midnight Tue night - Wed morning pretty much tells the story.  At least according to the most sophisticated computer models, there should be a wide area of moderate to heavy rainfall across the lower and middle elevations of Himalayan north India.  And that translates into the first heavy dose of snowfall of the season in the higher elevations to our north and northeast.

Right now, on this Sunday evening, satellite pics and upper-air charts show a large batch of moisture being drawn northeastward from the Arabian Sea, while simultaneously, an expansive low pressure circulation with unseasonably cold air aloft develops and eases in from the west-northwest. 

We have an interesting scenario shaping up during the coming 18-48 hours...
