Long-Range Forecast – May 11
It has been downright summer-like for the past couple of days away from the coast. At this time of the year, the coast is much cooler and there’s always fog flirting when there is a southwest breeze. We’ll have one more warm and muggy day before cooler weather arrives Tuesday night. The weather looks pleasant from Wednesday through Friday. A weak disturbance could trigger a few showers on Saturday. It bears watching. We could definitely use the rain, but nobody wants it on the weekend. Right now, it does not look like anything close to a washout. Seasonably cool weather is likely Sunday, with highs in the mid to upper 60s.
Next week looks fairly quiet. It will not be very warm and muggy, but it should not be too cool, either. There are no organized soaking rain storms on the radar for the next 7-10 days. Further down the road, it looks like the warmth and humidity will return around the Memorial Day weekend. Overall, May is expected to be warmer than normal, with well below normal precipitation.
