Everyone Knows It's Windy
Posted by Jeremy Reiner
A classic tune by The Association and also the title of this blog. Some fierce wind out there early this morning.
Here's a sampling of some of the wind gusts from very early Thursday morning---enough to wake me up! As we step through the day the wind will still be with us---and still a bit of an issue for the morning hours, occasionally gusting to 45mph. By afternoon, the numbers will come down a little but you'll still notice the wind. That wind won;t completely fade away until 4-5pm. The reason for the wind is a storm leaving behind a big bag of dry air, so look for mostly sunny skies through the day and temps will still be above normal for this time of year--mid 40s.
Looking into the next few days, not much new to report on as our January Thaw will roll through the weekend keeping daytime highs in the 40s & low 50s with overnight lows in the 30s. The mild weather comes with a price---clouds. Both weekend days offer a lot of clouds but it will stay dry despite those clouds.
Missing winter?!?......no worries, colder weather is set to return next week and that may involve a messy storm next Tuesday-Wednesday.

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.
