LONG RANGE FORECAST LATE MAY PATTERN BREAK

LONG RANGE FORECAST LATE MAY PATTERN BREAK – Good morning everyone. While we continue to experience the 10 plagues of Egypt weather-wise (a weather generated Tsunami being our latest insult), things look to relax a bit if you’re able to look down the road and get past the next few days.

I’ll rip off the band-aid quick and get the first part over with; rain and gloom continue to haunt us through Saturday. Not every day will be a total rainout, but it’ll feel like one as we will have big blocks of steady rain. For today, that block will happen for most of the morning and into early afternoon, highs in the mid to upper 60’s.

Tomorrow will be the rawest of the days, with a stiff NE wind, cloudy skies, and periods of rain starting early to mid morning; highs only in the low 60’s. On Saturday, clouds remain as does an east wind. Look for low to mid 60’s, some steady rain in the morning, then it becomes more scattered and maybe even a rumble of thunder.

As of this moment, on Sunday the change begins to take hold. Expect a cloudy morning, then clouds and a few peeks of sun in the afternoon. Any steady rain which plagued us for the last several days, becomes widely scattered. It’ll be humid one and we bounce above normal temp-wise to the low to mid 80’s.

High pressure and dry air begin to sink in and push the remainder of the moisture well south of the area for Monday. We’ll have one more warm one with low 80’s possible, then we return to more seasonable temps mid-week. If things go as planned, we should see low to mid 70’s for Tuesday through next Saturday, before warmer and more humid conditions return to close out May.

Looking into early June, a similar pattern we’re locked into right now wants to try and return. When I say similar, I mean similar in setup, but a few hundred miles could make a difference in terms of what we wind up seeing here. It’s quite possible we find ourselves on the warmer side of things, but it’s too early to tell and it would still translate into a wetter period than a dry one for early June.
