Forecast for Tuesday, May 8, 2018

Our old pal high pressure still with us the next couple of days with highs near or just above 100. About 10 degrees above average for this time of year, but no records are in jeopardy. A storm missing us to the north in the Great Basin will kick up our winds Friday and Saturday and cool us down a bit for the weekend and to start next week. Be cool!

Sunny today near 100. Mostly sunny tomorrow 102ish. 101 Thursday. Breezy (probably windy) Friday upper 90s. Breezy Saturday (not quite as windy) low 90s. Sunny low 90s Sunday and Monday.

Forecast for Monday, May 7, 2018

103 yesterday was so close to the record 104, but in the words of Maxwell Smart, “Missed it by that much.” Still, our first 100 degree reading of 2018 occurred at 12:12 yesterday afternoon for those of you keeping score at home. Subtle changes in the weather pattern the next few days will mean more of the same until Friday or so. A couple of degrees “cooler” today with a high near 101ish. A few high clouds for possible sunrise and sunset enhancement.  This morning’s sunrise was pretty nice!

Mostly clear skies tonight with a low in the upper 60s. Near 100 Tuesday and Wednesday. 101 Thursday.

Then it’s the winds of change Friday as a storm moves through the Great Basin. We know the drill. Breezy (windy?) and cooling off some for the weekend. Breezy Friday upper 90s. Lingering breezes Saturday mid 90s. Low 90s Sunday. Enjoy!

Forecast for Sunday, May 6, 2018

Gird your loins! Or, you know, at least wear shorts might be the modern version. First 100 degree day of 2018 expected this afternoon. 102 if exactly true will be 2 away from the record set in 1989. An increase in moisture may bring a storm or two to the mountains well to our south and east. Just an FYI if you see something that looks like a cloud in the distance. Also a few high clouds possible through tomorrow so perhaps some sunrise and sunset enhancement. Breezy cooler weather perhaps by next weekend. Otherwise it’s sunshine and early Summer through Friday.

Sunny today near 102. Clear tonight near 72. 101ish tomorrow. 100 Tuesday. 99 Wednesday and Thursday. 98 Friday. 93 Saturday.

Forecast for Saturday, May 5, 2018

Happy Mexican victory over the French at the Battle of Puebla Day! Any excuse to drink a nice cool adult beverage with Tequila in it. You may need a frosty drink of choice this weekend and until further notice as high pressure is turning up the heat.

Upper 90s today and kinds breezy with ESE winds 10-20 mph and gusty. Low tomorrow morning in the upper 60s.

Hot tomorrow approaching the record high of 104, but we should stay just shy at 102. 102 again Monday. Near 100ish Tuesday. 99 Wednesday. 100 Thursday. 99. Friday. Be cool!

Forecast for Friday, May 4, 2018

It’s Friiidaaay!!! May the 4th be with you!

Here comes the advertised heat. Look at it this way, how else are we going to heat up area pools? High pressure building in with dry air means a quick warming trend. A bit of a NNE breeze this afternoon and a bit breezier tomorrow with east winds 10-20 mph and gusty. Otherwise it’s sunshine and the hottest weekend of the year. Still looking at 102 Sunday and near 100 for much of next week. Be cool!

Sunny today with a high pretty close to our average of 88. I rounded up to 90. Somewhere in there.

Clear skies tonight with a low in the low 60s.

Sunny tomorrow upper 90s. Near 102 Sunday. 101ish Monday. 100 Tuesday. 99 Wednesday. 100 Thursday.
