So close to 100 Thursday; Storms return Monday — Your 9-Day Forecast

The official high today is 97! Oh, we are going to be so close to 100 tomorrow. I am predicting 99, but it’s all up to the afternoon winds. If they stay breezy, we’ll be under 100. If they become moderate, we could easily see 100!

Which meter will we add to on Thursday? Will it be “Andy’s ‘So Close to Misery’ Meter”? Or will it be the actual Misery Meter? Andy’s So Close to Misery Meter measures the number of 99-degree days for the year. So far, there have been 17.

TONIGHT:  The skies will be mostly clear with just a few clouds, and the SW winds will range from 5-10 mph.

FORECAST:  Thursday will be mostly sunny with a high of 99, which will be the hottest day of the week.  High pressure reaches its maximum on Thursday, plus the SW winds will range from 10-20 mph.  Friday will be partly cloudy, and the high will climb to 96.  Saturday will be partly cloudy with a slight chance of isolated area t-storms and a high of 95.  Sunday will be partly cloudy with a slight chance of a few raindrops here and there.  Sunday’s high: 95.  Monday will be partly to mostly cloudy with scattered late day t-showers. Monday’s high: 92.  Tuesday will be sunny with moderately gusty winds and a high of 90.  Wednesday will be sunny and 89.
