Here’s today’s Bottom Line:
A weather pattern that looks more like Memorial Day weekend than early March will continue for the next 5-7 days. A western Atlantic ridge supporting Bermuda high pressure at the surface will continue to support southerly to southwesterly low-level winds, thereby maintaining an unseasonably warm and rather humid air mass.
Our temperatures will be north of the 80-degree mark each of the next 5 to 7 days, with lows only dropping to around 60 — which is just a few degrees cooler than our normal high temps.
In terms of actual “weather” … well there really isn’t much to say. We’ll have some dense fog forming during the nighttime hours each night over at least the next 3-5 nights, with some fog lingering each morning. This is because of the high pressure ridging and the unseasonably humid air mass in place.
The sea-breeze boundary will be robust and push inland during the afternoon hours. This may trigger a pop-up shower or thunderstorm during the afternoon hours Saturday through Tuesday. The coverage will likely be isolated, hit-or-miss in variety, but that’ll be about it.
The unseasonable warmth will likely come to a rather sudden conclusion later NEXT week (next Thursday) as modeling suggests a fairly strong cold front is able to break down the high pressure ridge. Until then…. it’s unseasonable heat and humidity.
