It’s Friiiiidaaaayy! Heading into a three day weekend to boot. Another breezy “cool” day before high pressure builds back in for a warmer Memorial Day weekend.

Forecast for Thursday, May 25, 2017
Happy Friday Eve! Makes the weekend seem closer. Which is good because we are gonna have to put up with a bit of wind nonsense between now and then. Fire danger is high so the National Weather Service has issued a RED FLAG WARNING for this afternoon and evening and ditto for tomorrow. Please for the love of everything that is right and good if you smoke keep your butt in the car. Also be careful if you like to set stuff on fire. Maybe resist the urge for a couple of days. Calming down and warming back up for the Memorial Day Weekend! Then a surge (OK, surge is too strong) of moisture moves our way and we have a slight chance of a thunderstorm or two! More thunder than storm so another chance at fires. Stay tuned and stay not on fire!

Forecast for Wednesday, May 24, 2017
High pressure hanging out one more day before it weakens and heads south and east. 104 is the record set in 1983 & hit again in 1984 and 2001. Will we add 2017 to the list? If the forecast comes exactly true we will. I’ll let you know how it goes tonight. Then it’s more wind and a FIRE WEATHER WATCH for tomorrow and Friday, so watch out for fires. High pressure begins its return this weekend but with some high cloudiness for possible sunrise and sunset enhancement. Enjoy!

Forecast for Tuesday, May 23, 2017
It’s BEAUTIFUL this morning! Don’t fall for it. It’s a trick! By this afternoon the blistering Sun will beat down relentlessly bringing heat and blisters (by definition of a blistering Sun) to all who dare stand under its path. Too much? Maybe, but it will be hot the next couple of afternoons. Then a couple of storms missing us to the north will bring breezes that will possibly; blow debris onto my deck from neighboring trees, blow cars around on the roads, mess with your dish reception, blow locusts in from the west, and generally mess up people’s hair. Too much again? Maybe, but a FIRE WEATHER WATCH has been issued for Thursday and Friday afternoon, so watch for fires. It will cool off some, so I guess there’s that. Good Luck!

Forecast for Monday, May 22, 2017
High pressure large and in charge until Thursday or so when it will start to break down and head east. A couple of storms missing us to the north will then kick up our winds, increase our fire danger, knock down our temperatures, steal our prom date, cause more bad drivers, and blow stuff into the pool. Starting to warm back up by the end of the weekend. Enjoy!

Clear tonight with a low in the upper 60s.
Sunny tomorrow and Wednesday with highs near 101. Breezy Thursday upper 90s. Breezy Friday low 90s. Sunny Saturday low 90s. Mid 90s Sunday.
