Rain chances continue for the first half of our Friday (into early afternoon on the plateau) before a cold front sweeps in some dry and cool air for the weekend. A mostly cloudy start with a mostly sunny end as temperatures peak in the mid-80’s and drop quickly to the mid and low-70’s by this evening. Predictor shows some rain chanes along our eastern third still by the noon hour before clearing us out quickly by 6pm:
A wonderful summer night in store for us and a remarkable weekend ahead. Partly cloudy tomorrow with a high barely hitting 80 degrees with dewpoints in the low 50’s. Typical weekend weather if this were May. In fact, going back ten years we’ve never seen a July weekend with such cool temperatures. We are only about 80 degrees for a high on Sunday as well. Both Saturday and Sunday morning we’ll awake to find temperatures feeling like mid-May with lows in the upper 50’s. We might even tie or break a record low on Sunday (the record is 57 degrees, the forecast is for 58). Dry weather lasts until next Wednesday as well as the below-normal trend that’s been around all of July. The Climate Prediction Center believes most of next week will enjoy cooler temperatures:
For those who go to the southern beaches in August: El Nino is cranked up along the Pacific coast. This has caused the National Hurricane Center is chance their seasonal hurricane forecast to “near-normal” number of hurricanes. El Nino tends to increase the wind shear across the Atlantic and keep the storms from strengthening.
