Who’s ready for some spring weather finally? OK, so the answer is “everyone”. Guess what? It’s here! Oh, the week won’t be all sunshine and warm temperatures, but some spring better is better than none, right?
We start the week out with high pressure bringing sunshine and warm temperatures to the region today. Tuesday will also be warm, but the sunshine will disappear as clouds start to stream in ahead of a low pressure system moving towards the region. This brings us to Wednesday. It’ll be a cool and damp day, but hey, that’s better than snow, right?
The system pulls away on Thursday and skies clear out again, with temperatures getting back close to normal for late April. Friday starts off nice, but another system sends more clouds in, with showers returning late in the day and at night. Again, would you rather have snow? We didn’t think so.
That system pulls away quickly, setting us up for a “meh” weekend. Not great, not bad, just “meh”. With an upper-level trough of low pressure moving in aloft, and high pressure at the surface, it should be mostly dry, but we’ll still have plenty of clouds popping up, with a shower or two possible, but nothing widespread or heavy. Temperatures will be back below normal, but below normal in late April is a lot better than below normal in late February.
Monday: To quote the great Harris K. Telemacher: “”I’ll have a half double decaffeinated half-caf, with a twist of lemon”. No wait, that’s not the right quote. What we meant was: “Sun! Sun! Sun! Sun! Sun!” High 57-64, coolest right along the coast.
Monday night: Clear skies in the evening, high clouds start to filter in late at night. Low 35-42.
Tuesday: Clouds thicken up during the day. High 60-67, cooler along the South Coast.
Tuesday night: Cloudy with showers developing. Low 42-49.
Wednesday: Cloudy and breezy with occasional showers. High 50-57.
Thursday: A few lingering showers early, then becoming partly to mostly sunny. High 57-64.
Friday: Some early sun, then clouds come back in the afternoon. Showers likely at night. High 60-67.
Saturday: A mix of sun and clouds. High 58-65, coolest along the coast.
Sunday: Partly sunny, slight chance for a shower during the afternoon. High 54-61.
