I'm still trying to determine the day of the week, but it appears to be Friday. LOL. A mild start this morning and these mild temperatures will continue through the weekend, with even warmer temperatures anticipated through the middle of next week, which will undoubtedly be a welcome development.
Good morning, and welcome to Friday. We are experiencing very mild temperatures for this time of year, with readings in the 50s being enjoyed by everyone. Typically, we would expect temperatures in the mid-30s at this time of year.
I am tracking a weak windshift moving in from the northwest, which will arrive after lunchtime, shifting winds from south to north at 5 to 10 miles per hour. Highs will reach the low 70s, just like yesterday! There is no cold air or precipitation expected with this front, and it will only slightly cool temperatures down over the weekend.
On Saturday morning, temperatures will range from 45° to 50° with a light north wind. It will be sunny and beautiful on Saturday, with highs slightly cooler than today, reaching the mid-60s, approximately 10° above average for this time of year. Most areas will experience temperatures in the mid-to-upper 40s on Sunday morning, with afternoon highs reaching the upper 60s.
A high-pressure system in the upper levels of the atmosphere will build over the area through the middle of next week, allowing temperatures to rise even further. I anticipate mid-70s on Monday with plenty of sunshine.
Passing high clouds are expected on Tuesday, with a near-record high anticipated. The record for the day is 79°, and I am predicting 80° at this time.
The subtropical jet stream, which is typically active this time of year, has been inactive. It will finally bring a weak system across the state on Wednesday into Thursday, increasing clouds on Wednesday and bringing a slight chance of rain late Wednesday into Thursday morning. It is still too early to determine if thunderstorms will develop, but severe weather is not anticipated at this time. Clouds on Wednesday will keep temperatures down a few degrees, reaching the mid-to-upper 70s. Thursday will bring morning showers and afternoon sun, with highs in the low 70s.
As of now, it appears that a stronger cold front will drop temperatures to near seasonal averages by the end of next week, but nothing excessively cold is expected.
Have a great day today, an awesome weekend, and please enjoy the weather when you can, as it is the only weather you've got!
