no concerns... (pm.22.dec.17)>

Well... we had our two or three days of excitement and drama during the middle of the month, otherwise this December has been a very calm and quiet one.  The advertised spell of instability during the middle of this past week didn't come to much, with only some scattered and fleeting cloudiness on Wednesday and Thursday, and a very brief period of gusty winds and perhaps a sprinkle or two of rain on Wednesday night.

As we look ahead, there is very little to worry about during these final 8-9 days of the month and the year.  There will be a period of slight instability on Sunday into Christmas Day, as a pool of very cold air aloft drifts across Himalayan north India -- but immediately after that, warmer air in the upper-atmosphere will stream in, bringing us more stability.

According to the latest extended range models, there is nothing even remotely resembling any kind of storm system expected to affect us into the first week of January.  Yawn.
