triple digits this weekend?
100 degrees this Sunday? Are the weather forecasters crazy? The only explanation I can come up with for it being so hot is that winds will shift to the north/ northwest on Saturday and Sunday. That means downsloping winds, which tend to heat the air up rapidly. Once the north winds calm down, expect the temps to cool down. By next Wednesday highs should be around 90 degrees. That's still above average, but 10 degrees cooler than what's expected Sunday. I was so looking forward to cooler weather starting soon, but I guess I'll have to be patient. Sigh. Here's the still- summery forecast from the National Weather Service:
Tonight Clear, with a low around 57. Light east northeast wind.
Thursday Sunny, with a high near 92. Calm wind becoming south around 5 mph in the afternoon.
Thursday Night Clear, with a low around 59. South southeast wind around 6 mph becoming north northeast after midnight.
Friday Sunny, with a high near 93. Calm wind becoming west around 5 mph in the afternoon.
Friday Night Clear, with a low around 60. South southeast wind around 5 mph becoming north in the evening.
Saturday Sunny and hot, with a high near 96.
Saturday Night Clear, with a low around 59.
Sunday Sunny and hot, with a high near 100.
Sunday Night Mostly clear, with a low around 59.
Monday Sunny and hot, with a high near 96.
Monday Night Mostly clear, with a low around 58.
