It looks like summer is here to stay. The upper air pattern favors significantly warmer than average temperatures for the next two weeks.
Two Junes this year
If you compare our April and May average temperatures to normal, we're basically having two Marches and two Junes this year. May ran more than 8 degrees warmer than average. May's average temperature of 67.8 degrees is within one degree of the average for June! (68.8)
We've already racked up 6 days at or above 90 this year. My gut and historical trends favor 20+ days of 90s this summer. You may want to savor our rainy, cool Saturday.
