Good morning! A significant temperature rebound is underway. Mornings are still chilly. But, we had a nice recovery to 78 yesterday afternoon and we’ll be at least in the lower 80’s. Nights will start to moderate.
Expect middle 80’s Wednesday through the weekend. It’s dry forecast through Friday evening. A weekend storm system will bring scattered showers and thunderstorms Saturday and Sunday. That could be the start of a very active 10 day stretch of days with multiple disturbances. A significant pattern change. Here’s my brief video forecast discussion.
