Weβre easing into Monday with a continuationΒ of what we saw over the weekend! Temperatures start off in the 50s early in the morning and climb into the low to mid-80s by the afternoon. The mountains expect a cooler start to the week with highs in the low 70s. After Monday, the pattern really begins to shift.
Heading into the weekend, the forecast is looking great. Saturday and Sunday both bring a mix of sun and clouds with highs climbing into the mid-80s. If youβve got outdoor plans, youβre good to go,Β just be ready for it to feel more like early summer.
One of the biggest storylines this year isnβt just in the Atlantic,Β itβs happening in the Pacific.Β There are growing signs that aΒ βSuper El NiΓ±oβΒ could develop as we head into the peak of hurricane season. A typical El NiΓ±o means warmer-than-average water in the Pacific. AΒ SuperΒ El NiΓ±o takes that even further, with temperatures running aboutΒ 1.5 to 2Β°C above normal, which can have a stronger influence onΒ weather patterns.Β Right now, some of the latest guidance from NOAA and the ECMWF suggests thereβs roughly aΒ 1-in-3 chanceΒ we could reach those levels by late summer or early fall.
As we move through the end of the week, that high pressure system shifts offshore, and our winds begin to turn in from the east and south.
Humidity levels are expected to fall into the 25β30% range, and when combined with wind gusts exceeding 20 mph, the risk for fire spreadΒ has increased.
Afternoon highs will stay on the cooler side, generally in the upper 60s to low 70s, with noticeably lower humidity.
Cooler, drier air settles in bringing noticeable temperature changes Monday. Lower humidity will make it feel crisp and comfortable each afternoon through Wednesday.
Good Friday morning! Itβs a warm and slightly more humid start to the day, and that trend will stick with us through the afternoon. Expect highs to climb into the low to mid 80s, with a mix of sun and clouds throughout the day.
The unsettled weather pattern sticks around into Thursday and Friday, but the big story is the warmth it will continue to feel more like early summer than early spring.
As we move into the afternoon, things turn a bit more active. After aboutΒ 3 p.m., weβll be watching for a few showers and thunderstorms to develop. Itβs not going to be a washout, but some neighborhoods could see rainΒ especially right around the evening commute.
