Summers coming!

Cloudy and cool again today thanks to another disturbance moving towards the area this morning giving us showers into the afternoon. Winds today a little breezy, westerly 5-10 becoming 10-15 gusting to 20 as the disturbance moves through. Tomorrow, upper level disturbances continue to pass through but are much weaker and with little moisture available, we should see little more than some additional mid and high clouds passing through. A ridge starts to build in late tomorrow to help warm things up for the 4th (Sunday) but there will still be some clouds hanging around and at least one model shows some light precipitation from one final disturbance pushing through the ridge on Sunday night into Monday morning. As for Monday and the rest of next week, each model run builds the high pressure in even more which means even higher temperatures. So, Monday temps start out in the low 70s and by Wednesday, our temperature could actually reach 80. Wednesday and/or Thursday would be the warmest days but the whole week looks sunny, warm and dry. We need to watch for the marine layer to push in later next week which would bring in cooler air and nighttime clouds, we’ll probably be ready by then anyway!
