Good Morning! On this President’s Day, our big warm-up continues. What a nice start to the week! Look for highs in the middle 70’s. We’ll be near 80 Tuesday and well into the 80’s Wednesday and Thursday. There will be a small chance of rain at times, as disturbances brush by the area. But, the main action stays north & west of us. A huge upper level protective dome of high pressure centered over Cuba will keep us warm and divert storm systems away. The warmer than normal Spring-like pattern continues on Friday & Saturday. Here’s my brief forecast discussion.
TODAY: The big warm-up continues. Increasing clouds, but dry. High 75. (Normal 66/41) Breezy. Southwest wind 10 to 15, gusts to 20mph today. Mostly cloudy very mild tonight. Low near 60. Isolated showers possible before dawn Tuesday.
NEXT FEW DAYS: Spring preview will continue. We’ll be near 80 Tuesday. Expect highs well into the 80’s by Wednesday and Thursday. There will be a small chance of rain just about everyday through Friday as disturbances brush by the area. The warm pattern continues through Friday and Saturday, too.
