A Mild Day

Today: Partly sunny.  Chance for showers and possible thunderstorms.  High temp of 68 and low temp of 40.

Today's a mild day compared to yesterday's high of 53!  Expect the rain between noon and 6 pm.

Brr!

Today: Sunny. High temp of 50 and low temp of 27.

Brr! It is cold outside! I hope you didn't put away the winter jackets just yet...it's going to be a chilly start!  And your 27 degree start will feel like 15 degrees! Wow, that is is cold...in fact this is the average low temp for February 19th! 

The reason why we dropped so low!
1. Breezy: NW Winds 15 mph G 25
2. Dry: -5 Dewpoint
3. Clear: No Clouds until this evening!

I know its cold outside, but Dunkin is definitely moving the season along by offering free ICED COFFEE!

Here's The Cold

Today: Sunny.  High temp of 55 and low temp of 48.

So here's the cold weather (or average weather) we've skipped.  But with this change in the weather, we need to watch out for a few dangers today and tomorrow. 

Today...expect breezy winds with gusts up to 40 mph (dry + windy = brush fire threat) 

*Be careful with outdoor fire activities*

Tonight...temps drop down into the 20s (cold + buds = widespread hard freeze)

*Bring in all plants or cover the budding the plants!*

Today's Make Up Our Own Holiday!  Be creative and have fun :)

World Meteorological Day

Today: A few clouds with more sun. High temp of 75 and low temp of 60.

A mild start to the day and once again we will warm up...but we stay clear of the record (82 in 1938).  Make sure you enjoy today...the weekend is going to be a whole LOT different! And same with next week...it's going to get COOL around here! Okay, well only 10 degrees above average.

Happy World Meteorological Day!

How nice was yesterday?!?!

We hit 72 degrees with sunny skies and a few late day clouds.

The only catch was the southwest winds.  

Max sustained wind speed: 36 mph

Max wind gust speed: 49 mph

But because of those strong winds from the southwest (warm land breeze) we were able to break into the 70s in early March!!!! So those winds actually helped us out!

Fun Fact: The last time we were above 70 and sunny was October 9th...5 months ago!

Spring Ahead (kinda)

Today: Mostly sunny. High temp of 70 and low temp of 52.

Average daily low of 52: May 10th
Average daily high of 70: May 10th
With today's temperatures we really spring ahead to a May 10th-like feel! (I wish it was really May!...but it's not) So soak up every little bit of sun today and enjoy the warm weather :)
