The omega block continues to dominate, and we will see even more hot, but not record hot heat for the rest of the week.
Yesterday the high was 24, and today it seems we have 25. Quite hot, knowing the average high for this time of year is 18. It seems we’ll have similar temperatures for Thursday and Friday, but tomorrow and Saturday are going to reach up into the high 20s.
Right now, it’s looking like tomorrow’s high will be something like 28 or 29, a full 10 degrees above normal. For Saturday, maybe something similar. If you’re wondering if we may break a record, then I’d say probably not, but it could happen on Saturday. The record temperature for tomorrow is 33.6, from 1981. On Saturday, it is 29.4 from 1922.
What about the lows? The forecasts for these have been very unreliable, so we’ll probably see a lot of variation. There might be some that are 12 or 13, and others that get to what they were this morning (5.7). For the next 5 nights though, they will for the most part probably end up in the 9-12 degree range.
That’s it! Just a small update on the heat. If you’re wondering what is coming after this and how that pattern seems likely to break soon, check out the post that came out yesterday.
