Good morning! It feels more like May than April. Daily highs in the 80’s will continue through Thursday. We may be near record highs by late week. If we get to 91 Friday – that would be a new record. The average date of the first 90 degree temperature is June 10th. The drought continues to grow worse. A weekend front could deliver some showers and thunderstorms by Saturday night or Sunday morning. Otherwise, we’re in for yet another dry week. Here’s my brief video forecast discussion.
TODAY: Mostly sunny. Continued warm. High near 88. Light wind.
(Normal hi/lo 78/52) (Record 88 from 1936)
TONIGHT: Mostly clear. Low 58.
NEXT FEW DAYS: Our extended string of warm, storm-free days rolls on. Dry at least through the work week. Highs well into the 80’s will continue. Near or above 90 by Friday and Saturday. Overnight lows in the 50s and 60s. A weekend front could deliver some showers and thunderstorms by Saturday night or Sunday morning.
TEASING RECORD HIGHS?: The very warm temperatures will continue. In fact, we’ll be in record territory late week – especially by Friday and Saturday.
Will a weakening weekend frontal system bring the next chance of showers & storms? Best chance looks like overnight Saturday night into early Sunday AM.
The EURO model is the most optimistic model that we will see ANY raindrops. Some models are DRY.
