Average temperatures in mid-June feature highs in the lower 80s and lows in the lower 60s. As we look ahead to the 2019 version, it’s safe to say we’ll run well below those numbers and closer to what we’d expect in early October (when average temperatures are in the lower 70s for highs and around 50° for a low).
A powerful upper level system and associated trough will lead to the potential of showers and thunderstorms the middle of next week ahead of the cooler push of air late week.
As we look longer term, the pattern is one that just doesn’t appear to offer up any sort of serious heat (even into July). Things look unseasonably refreshing around these parts as we approach the heart of meteorological summer.
*We’re on the road through Tuesday and posts will be a bit “off schedule” over the next few days. We will have a more detailed short term update on weekend rain chances later this evening.
