In Brief:
Today, will be chilly with a high in the lower 60'sF. This front pulls away overnight and we warm to nearly 80F Monday. A cool/wind shift comes through in the evenings Monday and Tuesday keeping the warmth a bit tempered. We return to highs near 80F for the rest of the week and afternoon thundershowers coming off the mountains each day.
8:30pm Update:
Everything is on track after a chilly Sunday. We will rise to upper 70'sF for a high on Monday with dry conditions. I'm going to go play board games with the family instead of load a bunch of graphics about nice weather here tonight. Have a nice week everyone.
End 8:30pm Update.
Forecast Discussion:
We have a little chance of a shower now and then in the cool air today (Figure 1) but the front is far to our south and east. The stratus clouds of the morning will give way to partly cloudy skies later today.
The Longer Range Forecast:
There isn't much to cover at this point - a couple of wind shift lines (weak fronts) will come through Sunday PM (and bring warmer air back) and Monday and Tuesday PM. We will approach 80F Monday right after our chilly Sunday (Figure 2). We will see things cool slightly to the mid 70'sF by Wednesday - then stabilize around 80F with a return of wandering afternoon thunderstorms. Enjoy your weekend! (Sorry this went up later than normal on Sunday - I couldn't reach the editor tool for some reason last night. )
