Weather
☀️ A lot of sunny days and clear nights are ahead!
Almanac: Sunrise/Sunset: 7:37/7:13 • Records: 87° (2019), 25° (2000) • YTD Rainfall: 46.3” (Normal: 45.8”).
Details: Temperatures will be cooler much of this week than they were much of last week. We’ll only be around 70° for a high each day with sunny skies. At nights, we’ll drop into the low 40s under clear skies. It’s hard to beat a week-long weather forecast like this one.
Further Out: A warming trend kicks in by the weekend, which will drive temperatures into the mid 70s. The remainder of the month is looking warm (though a cold front may bring some cool temperatures next week), and it continues to look bone-dry, as well. In fact, it’s possible that we see no rainfall of any significance for the next 15 days.
Frost/Freeze Watch: We continue to watch the potential for a cold front next week that could bring the first frost and/or freeze of the season. As it stands right now, the GFS model is suggesting several days with temperatures only in the 50s for highs next week. This might be overdone; in fact, there’s only marginal support for this idea from other models. However, even if it comes to fruition, nighttime lows currently look like they’d be in the mid to upper 30s — likely not hardly cold enough to support a widespread frost.
