Forecast Discussion and Long Range Forecast:
I'm going to take my family out on a date tonight and go light (lite) on the discussion today. We'll look at storm reports tomorrow!
Figure 1 shows the next 10 days at a glance. After the low retreats, as Saturday morning passes, winds will drop and temperatures begin to warm up. An upper level ridge passes overhead on Monday warming us almost to 80F again. It is gone very quickly to be replaced by the next short wave trough. Winds kick up again on Tuesday and temperatures drop about 15F. We warm up again for the end of the week before a (possible) extended period of rain chances begins around 1am Friday.
Not too unusual for a springtime around here! See you tomorrow.
