Warmer weather but we need rain!


We all like nice weather but it is very dry, brush fires have been common for the last few days. Did anyone see the smoke from the Meadowlands fire yesterday?

As we move forward the next several days the temperatures will increase and there are chances of showers but no dousing rain is in the forecast..

Today will start out sunny but clouds will increase later this morning and there is a chance of a shower this afternoon and evening, high near 60 degrees..

Tonight will be chilly with some freezing temperatures in the outlying areas but most places will be in the upper 30s with clear skies..

Friday will be mostly sunny with highs a bit higher than today in the mid 60s..

It will be a warm weekend with highs on Saturday in the low 70s creeping up to the upper 70s on Sunday, there is a chance of a shower Saturday evening but most of the weekend will stay dry.

Monday like it stays quite warm with a high near 80 degrees.

Tuesday and Wednesday will have a chance of showers and thunderstorms, highs Tuesday in the 70s, Wednesday highs in the upper 60s

More clouds today with some showers!


It will be a little cooler today with more clouds and mainly just scattered showers this afternoon, highs in the upper 50s.

Thursday will be mostly cloudy with a slight chance of a shower with a high near 60 degrees.

Friday will feature more sunshine and milder temps in the mid 60s..

The weekend will be warmer although there is a chance of showers Saturday evening to Sunday morning, highs Saturday near 70 and Sunday’s highs will be in the mid-upper 70s but it will be windy on Sunday once again.

Early next week a front will be near by and depending on where this front is positioned will determine the amount of clouds and or showers and how high the temperatures will be.. Right now I think highs will at least be 70 degrees with the possibilities of much higher readings if the front stays further to our north… How is that for a hedge?

Less wind than yesterday!


March is supposed to be the windy month but the first few days of April have had more wind. Yesterday we had gusts to over 40MPH. The combination of wind, very low humidity
and the recent dry spell has resulted in many brush fires in the area.

Today the wind will be less strong but gusts still can be near 30MPH this afternoon, it will be partly sunny and just a slight chance of a shower, highs in the lower 60s.

Wednesday will have more clouds and a chance of showers, highs in the upper 50s.

Thursday still a slight chance of a shower, partly sunny, high near 60.

Friday will be mostly sunny with highs in the lower 60s..

Saturday a warming trend will take place with temps reaching the upper 60s.. Mostly sunny.

Sunday should warm up in the 70s with partly sunny skies although there is a slight risk of a shower..

Monday there will be a front just to our north, if it stays as forecast temps will reach at least the mid 70s, still a chance of showers…

Windy Monday!


You can see my new weather station in the background. I want to thank my wonderful former co-workers for this nice retirement present! I have my I.T. department (Jared) looking to have the data from the station posted automatically on this website.

Today the wind indicator is going to get a workout as we may have wind gusts up to 40MPH. The weather will be dry again with temps a couple of degrees lower than yesterday’s, mainly in the mid 60s. Brush fire danger again today with a Red Flag Warning in effect.

Tuesday will have less wind but more clouds, only a slight chance of an afternoon shower or thundershower, high near 60.

Wednesday has the best chance of showers with highs in the 50s.

Thursday, slight chance of a morning shower highs in the upper 50s.

Friday will have mostly sunny skies with highs in the lower 60s.

Weekend at this point looks milder, no rain in my forecast yet but that may change.. highs in the 60s on Saturday and close to 70 on Sunday.

Next week will start out warm with highs at least in the 70s….

Happy Easter!


Easter Sunday’s weather can have a snowstorm like we had in 1970 to blazing heat as in 1976 when it reached 96 degrees, thankfully today will be almost perfect with sunny skies and highs in the upper 60s, the winds will kick up this afternoon once again but not be as windy as yesterday.

Monday we will have more wind once again but it still will be partly to mostly sunny with highs in the mid 60s. Wind gust above 30 MPH in the afternoon..

Tuesday cooler with more clouds and a chance of afternoon and evening showers, high in the upper 50s.

Wednesday has the best chance of showers, even a snow flake well inland, cooler still with highs in the low to mid 50s..

Thursday partly cloudy with a high in the upper 50s.

Friday bit milder with more sun, high near 60 degrees

Next weekend a warming trend will take place with highs in the mid 60s on Saturday and in the 70s by Sunday, little of no rain so far..

Monday April 16th quite warm with a high approaching 80…
