After a mainly sunny and dry weekend, the weather pattern changes a bit early this week. At midday, some locations were closer to a partly cloudy sky, and it looks like many of us see a mix of sun and clouds this afternoon.
Another sunny and warm afternoon Sunday after a cool morning. Temperatures started in the low to mid 50s for most, but rebounded into the low 80s this afternoon. Even though winds turned more towards the southeast, humidity was decently low, with dewpoints in the upper 40s to around 50° and relative humidity falling to 30 to 35% during the afternoon.
The weekend is off too a very nice start with plenty of sunshine Saturday. The morning started on another cool note, with most locations briefly falling into the upper 40s or low 50s.
Friday began on an unseasonably cool note once more. Morning low temperatures were in the mid 40s to low 50s in most locations. Since then, temperatures have warmed considerably thanks to abundant sunshine.
If you found yourself reaching for a jacket Thursday morning, you probably weren’t alone. Morning low temperatures fell into the 50s. While the last few days featured more clouds than sunshine, sunshine returns in greater supply today.
The sunny and warm weather from Mother’s Day weekend is on hiatus with showers and storms back in our area today. Rain was moderate to heavy at times with thunder and lightning in the mix late Sunday night and early Monday morning.
It was a warm and breezy Mother’s Day with plenty of sunshine. High temperatures soared into the mid and upper 80s today. Humidity was on the rise as well, and that could be the fuel for storms late this evening and overnight.
Mother’s day looks nice if you like sunshine and some serious warmth. Winds become quite breezy out of the south at 10 to 20 mph for most of the day, helping warm temperatures into the mid and upper 80s. While the daylight hours look dry and mostly sunny, showers and storms could arrive in our northwest communities just before midnight.
Here we are one week into May, but it felt like we were in the midst of March Friday. High temperatures ranged from around 70° north to around 80° south. Humidity was rather low and the northwest breeze fairly strong.
Damaging winds and large hail are the main threats, though a brief tornado can’t be ruled out. A severe thunderstorm watch includes all of our area until 8PM.
