MONDAY Update: Great First Week of May – Comfortable Days, Chilly Nights

Good Morning!  Welcome to May!   I think the weather news for the first week of May is really good.  Expect a series of storm-free days. Temperatures will be below normal, but comfortable through mid-week.  Expect more chilly, jacket weather nights.  It’ll be rather windy today and Tuesday.  We’ll be back to the 80’s Thursday through Saturday.  The next small chance of rain arrives Friday.  Scattered showers Saturday. There is no “big ticket” weather for the next several days.  Enjoy!   Here’s my brief forecast discussion.

CLIMATE DATA:   Yesterday we had morning low of 59, and an afternoon high of 75.  (Normal 82/56)   Weekend Airport Rainfall: 1.27”  (East Montgomery 1.73”)

TODAY:  Sunshine, windy.  High 74.  West wind 12 to 22 mph, gusting to 30 mph.  Clear, breezy, chilly tonight.  Low 49. 

A HUGE Upper Level Low dominates the entire eastern half of the nation.  WOW.  If this was January or February we would be bitterly cold. 


NEXT FEW DAYS:  All things considered, we are in for a very nice first week of May.  Abundant sunshine.  Comfortable days.  Chilly, jacket weather nights.  Several storm-free days.  Upper 70’s Tuesday & Wednesday.    80’s Thursday and Friday.  Small rain chance by Friday.  Scattered showers Saturday. 

Here’s the Ten Day Model Temperature Blend.  WAY Below normal This week, including very chilly nights.  But Much Warmer Next Week.
