Happy Spring!

Currently the temperature is 66 degrees. Put the thermometer in the sun and its 70 easy. It is definitely a shorts day. Temps will peak in the low 70s this afternoon, prob around 72 or 73, and tomorrow will be even better. The official forecast has risen the high to 75, just as I thought they would, so our chances of 80 degrees are definitely possible. There will be a squeeze play going on, with a backdoor cold front approaching from the northeast. Chances are, it will remain to our north during the entire day Friday so upper 70s to near 80 are quite possible.

Then the forecast becomes tricky for the weekend. The cold front will probably stall, just to our south and west, which will lock in cooler air, and possibly a deck of clouds, especially at the coast. There is an outside chance of a sprinkle of shower as well. Since we are far inland, the clouds should break and we should salvage at least some sunshine, but it doesn't look as beautiful as today and tomorrow. Temps will head for 70, but fall just short Saturday, and then the cooler air takes over Sunday. Not cold though...with highs 55-58. Sunday will definitely be the worst of the two days, and the clouds should win out, along with a chance of a shower.

Early outlook for next week. Not as awesome as this week, with a couple of chances of showers. Still we should manage slightly above normal temperatures.

Enjoy the spring warmth!
