Summertime Temperatures Ahead

Hello everyone and welcome back to the blog. I know it's been quiet this year weather wise and therefore I haven't used the blog all that much. Basically every weatehr event that's happened this year I've been able to describe in detail on social media sites. Although the pattern looks to stay the same.

Anyways let's get to the headlines. Sunday night we had a cold front move through which allowed temperatures to cool way down to almost record low temperatures into the low and mid 30s with widespread frost. Tonight we'll see a smilar set-up with temperatures not dropping as low but low enough to head back into the upper 30s with a few areas of patchy frost. Especally in some of those sheltered valleys.

Temperatures tomorrow will rebound quite nicely into the mid 70s for highs with little to no clouds. Wednesday into Thursday it will really start to feel like summertime for a few days. Clear skies with high temperatures in the mid 80s on Wednesday with a bit of a humidity factored in would make for the first time we have the ol' heat index back. For those that don't know, the Heat Index is a factorization of the temperatures Dew Points and the Humidity all together. What those three does is makes it seem hoter outside so to speak. That why the Heat Index is also known as the "Feel like temperature".

Thursday, we'll see a bit more of the heat index this time it'll create some pop-up showers and thunderstorms. "Pop-up showers and thunderstorms" is caused by the higher humidity and dew point levels making the atmosphere more unstable and ripe for shower and thunderstorm action. These type of storms can develop at the drop of the hat and can move really slow dumping large amounts of rain leading to flooding.

Next week I'm watching another cold front that looks to eventually make it's way through here. It's not going to be nowhere near as strong as the past few we've had, but it will cool temperatures down a bit. How much is not yet to be known but I can say this with confidence: We look to continue into a pattern that will feature numerous days of the week where rain and thundertsorms could be a good possibility. With that being said, we will stay above average on rainfall for the young spring season.

Have a great night everyone and take care! :)
