There was no let-up in cold conditions as Srinagar recorded a low of minus 5 degrees Celsius on Thursday even as a feeble Western Disturbance is likely to bring precipitation over higher reaches in the next 24 hours.
The Meteorological Department officials here said that generally dry weather is expected for now.
“A feeble Western Disturbance is approaching on January 17. Generally, cloudy weather with light snow over isolated higher reaches is expected,” they said. “Generally dry weather is expected from January 18 to 20.”
The MeT officials said a few parts of higher reaches, especially higher reaches of north Kashmir, could see light snow on Friday evening or night but there is no forecast of snowfall in Sonamarg, Gulmarg, and Pahalgam with 15 to 25 percent chance.
