Thursday April 12

A warm front will be passing through this morning with a chance for brief rain. This will then open up the door to warmer air as we reach the mid 70s this afternoon. Go figure that we get a warm day in spring. We actually did hit the 70s on April 4th and 7th. We are expected to surge into the 80s for two days as the models are now supporting my push for that mark.  As we talk about temps it is important to remind you that places any the Bay and near the Ocean will remain cooler.  Also, enjoy it while it is here this weekend. Showers will try to build in Sunday, with the strongest storms Sunday night into Monday morning. Then we settle back into a cooler pattern next week.

This Morning

We start off chilly in the 30s and 40s, but a new air mass is on the other side of that warm front.

Outlook: Warm Spell Ends Sunday With Storms

Often we end up warmer than models first show, so I think we have a good chance for the 80s both Friday and Saturday. 

The outlook next week may end up colder than shown here as the model trends towards average. But all model indications are reinforcing cold surges.
