Memorial Day Weekend is the unofficial start of summer around here, but Mother Nature is going to start a few days early.
High pressure starts to build in today, with skies clearing out as we go through the morning and afternoon with warmer weather beginning to move in. We get an early taste of summer for Tuesday and Wednesday with temperatures likely topping 80 away from the South Coast, where southwest winds will act as a seabreeze. Don’t be surprised if we see some 90-degree readings across the interior on Wednesday. A cold front moves in on Thursday with some showers and thunderstorms expected. Depending on the timing of the front and the associated shower activity, we could see another warm, and likely more humid day. High pressure builds back in for Friday and into the first part of Memorial Day weekend with dry and more seasonable conditions. Another system may move in for Memorial Day itself, but this is a bit uncertain at this point, so don’t go cancelling any plans yet.
