Bold Cold
Posted by Jeremy Reiner
Today is a cold day, no getting around that. The coldest of the winter (so far) as many towns are starting just a few degrees above zero & some towns even south of the goose-egg. That's just temperature---add in a little wind and it feels like it's below zero for many cities & towns! As we step through the day, our temps will struggle to reach the low 20s by afternoon---far below our normal high temps in the upper 30s.
As we move from the afternoon & into the evening, temps get wacky as they actually continue their upward trend from the afternoon. In fact, temperatures by early tomorrow morning will reach the upper 20s! That will set us up for some milder weather for Finally Friday. Temps return to normal on Friday with most towns in the upper 30s, the only issue is that a westerly breeze will mask some of that mild feel to the air.
Looking into the weekend, there are no big storms (no little ones either), no shots of bitterly cold air and no record warmth. In fact, a nice January weekend in store with afternoon highs in the 30s each day and sunny skies on Saturday. Sunday will offer clouds & some early morning flurries. No big deal.
It appears our January Thaw will arrive next week with afternoon highs in the 40s!

Monsoon

If you were caught in those 'cloudbursts' today, you had more than you could handle in the rain department. Torrents fell in a short amount of time - what we deem 'flash flooding' in the weather biz. Since it happens suddenly, the National Weather Service has adopted the acronym TADD:
Thunderous Start to Workweek
Posted by Pete Bouchard
Heat and a bit of humidity fed a strong - and sometimes severe - line of thunderstorms today. By the time the dinner hour rolled around (6pm-ish), the storms had consolidated into a line. Everyone got a drink of water and a big drop in temperatures - some falling nearly 20 degrees in minutes!
We'll Take Average

Well, we had a lot of clouds this afternoon, but at least not a lot of rain. Sure a few showers were out there, scattered about, but hopefully they didn't ruin any plans you had with dad. Temps made it into the mid to upper 70s, which is close to the average for this time of year. In fact, the whole 7-day forecast is within 5 degrees of average each and every day. That means lots of upper 70s and lower 80s on the board. Not bad being average this time of year, huh?
Happy Father's Day

Happy Father's Day to all you dads out there, and to my dad as well. So what's on tap for the day? Golf, grilling, just hanging out? Whatever it is, all and all, it's still a pretty good day for dad weather-wise. I wish I could say the Father's Day forecast exactly repeats Saturday, but we do have a few late afternoon showers to track.
