Well we finally did it – we got into the 70s today – in fact we did it right before two o’clock when we topped out at 72 degrees officially. Incidentally that’s just about where we should be this time of year as the average/normal temperature is 71 – (if you care last year we hit 73 on the same day) … now that I’ve filled your head with a bunch of “useless” information how about that forecast :-)!
Another nice day (even warmer) lies ahead for today so keep on smiling … but it enjoy it because some rain could be on the horizon. Today expect some sunshine with relatively light southerly winds and a temperature in the mid (to upper) 70s … let’s go with 77ish. I’d expect even a few more clouds in the afternoon as our next little disturbance tries to move its way into the area for Wednesday. Like I said those clouds will roll in tomorrow night which will keep temperatures a little warmer than they have been lately and we’ll stay in the upper 50s for an overnight low.
SO things get a little more interesting as we go on through the period … high pressure continues to slide to the east over the Atlantic which is going to allow a cold/cool front to approach … latest model runs have slowed this thing down a bit so rain/showers may get here a little later than they were originally forecast. That said, Wednesday still looks to be your “not so great day of the week” as the front will pass Wednesday night into early Thursday morning and the sun should return (baring any additional slow down). This front originally wasn’t going to pack too much of a punch but now it looks like Thursday highs will dip back into the upper 60s with overnight lows getting back into the 40s. We rebound by the end of the week with more sun and temperatures back into the low 70s for your Friday.
