Good Thursday morning!
Bundle up Thursday, as it’s a very cold start to the day with most of us in the 20s. As I warned last month when we were enjoying that unusual early spring warmth, that warmth got the growing season started earlier than it’s supposed to, and some fruit trees are already blooming. This freeze could kill those blossoms and ruin our fruit tree crop. We’ll know soon how much damage was done.
Sunrise was at 6:41 a.m.
The day ahead will feature mostly sunny skies this morning, which will then become partly cloudy. Temperatures will rebound from yesterday’s low to mid 40s to highs today in the low 50s. It’ll become breezy though, with a west wind moving at 10 to 20 mph.
Thursday’s sunset is at 8:23 p.m.
It will be mostly clear Thursday night, with lows in the mid 30s.
There will be a mostly sunny start on Friday, then it will become partly cloudy (maybe even mostly cloudy by the end of the day). Highs rise further into the low 60s. Friday night will become cloudy, with lows in the mid 40s.
Weekend forecast
We will potentially start Saturday dry -- so get out early if you’re a morning jogger, because rain will develop. Most computer models bring in the rain by mid-to-late morning, and only one model holds it off until mid-afternoon. But that one model is the trusty ol’ European model. Right now, it’s one against the rest, so plan at this point on rain most of the day, and I’ll update you on the timing Friday. Highs will only reach the mid to upper 50s on Saturday due to the clouds and rain.
Rain is likely Saturday night, but will end before dawn. Lows will be near 40 degrees.
Sunday starts mostly cloudy, but we’ll see increasing sunshine through the day. Highs will be in the mid to upper 50s.
Back to summer!
As promised, we then warm up big time next week.
Think about this: We’ll go from snow this past Tuesday night, to highs in the upper 70s this coming Tuesday! Which brings to mind one of my all-time favorite memes:
