It's a balmy morning with full sunshine on the scene. My overnight low here in the upper part of town was 66.0F (18.9C), and that occurred just in the half hour before the sun rose over the mountain peaks. There has been no rainfall overnight, and the humidity is 37%.
That early morning low temp is the warmest I've recorded since the very beginning of the month, when we had our warmest few days of the summer season thus far. However, we're now entering into another phase of summertime weather, as has been advertised during the past week or so. Barring any surprises (like out-of-nowhere thundershower development), we'll likely end up with our highest temperatures of the season and the year by this afternoon, with even further warming expected tomorrow (Fri) and possibly into Saturday as well. The reason for this is a large, sprawling high pressure ridge to our southwest which will nudge ever so slightly northeastward during the next couple of days.
Our atmosphere should be stable enough to prevent thundershower development today into most of Friday as well... but a new upper-level disturbance/circulation will ease in from the west by Saturday. That will give us a better chance of some scattered showers/thunder in the area from Friday night through Sunday. If we do end up getting hit with a significant thunderstorm at some point, temperatures will temporarily cool of dramatically -- otherwise this summertime air mass will hang with us.
