DAYS 1-5 (JUNE 20-24)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We’re in the last 24 hours of astronomical spring, with the summer solstice occurring at 5:13 a.m. Tuesday, but don’t think that just because the calendar officially says “summer” that we will immediately experience full summer weather. It’s still going to be a struggle to get us there as our weather pattern recently, while not excessively wet, has certainly not been all that warm either, especially during this past weekend when we had some anomalous chill. But we do get rid of that somewhat right away as we start the new week. Today will be a bright and milder day, governed by high pressure, but light wind will allow a sea breeze so the coast will be cooler. A warm front will approach from the west Tuesday and Wednesday, but never quite get here. It will result in some areas of clouds at times, especially Tuesday night and Wednesday. Some onshore flow may add enough low level moisture from some lower clouds and patchy fog Tuesday night and early Wednesday as well, but at this point I don’t think any precipitation will occur, even though the front gets rather close Wednesday. By Wednesday night and into Thursday, however, things change a little. Although the frontal boundary gets pulled back to the south and west somewhat, a low pressure area is expected to develop offshore and should be in a position to deliver some rain to us during that time frame. This low will actually be triggered by another block-up in the atmosphere and a retrogression (westward movement) of the upper low that plagued us over the weekend. But this time it won’t hang around nearly as long, and it should be back on the move to the east by Friday, with improvement here. To be honest, while people tend to frown upon wet weather as we get to summer, any ran we can squeeze out of the pattern is good, as we continue to run a deficit for the year and experience longer term abnormally dry to moderate drought conditions across a fair amount of the WHW forecast area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DAYS 6-10 (JUNE 25-29)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
June 25-26 weekend looks seasonably warm and a little more humid with a south to southwest air flow. We may see a couple showers and thunderstorms with the increased moisture combined with sun’s heating, but overall it looks like a rain-free weekend. A frontal system from the west brings a better opportunity for showers\/thunderstorms about June 27 possibly into June 28 before a push of drier and slightly cooler air for later in the period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 11-15 (JUNE 30 \u2013 JULY 4)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Signs of a dry and seasonably warm to very warm stretch of weather for the end of June and beginning of July with high pressure in control.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
