My friends,
I’ve decided to try something a bit new for this forecast: I’ve included a WeatherTable and a standard, day-by-day weather narrative. You’ll enjoy the coming week or so if you like things hot and sticky…
Thu 6/5 - Mainly cloudy with some breaks of sunshine. Temperatures will be fairly moderate, but humidity will make it feel a bit warmer than it is. Look for a stray thunderstorm or two late in the afternoon. High 79, low 64.
Fri 6/6 - Plenty of sunshine, somewhat warm and quite humid. High 86, low 65.
Sat 6/7 - Partly to mostly sunny, hot and humid. High 94, low 69.
Sun 6/8 - Partly cloudy and continued very humid with near-record heat; look for a shower or thunderstorm in the late afternoon or early evening. High 96, low 71.
Mon 6/9 - Partly cloudy and hot with humidity dropping a bit, but the heat wave continues. High 93, low 70.
Tue 6/10 - Sun mixing with clouds. High 89, low 64.
Wed 6/11 - Sunny and clear; moderating temperatures. High 83, low 58.
Thu 6/12 - Partly to mostly cloudy with a slight chance of rain in the evening. High 78, low 57.
Fri 6/13 - Partly cloudy and warmer. High 89, low 63.
Sat 6/14 - Partly sunny and warmish. High 87, low 65.
Sun 6/15 - Sunny to begin with, then turning cloudy and rainy late. High 84, low 67.
Mon 6/16 - Sunny, clear, and pleasant. High 80, low 55.
Tue 6/17 - Sunny, clear, and lovely. High 81, low 58.
Beyond - Weather will be more appropriate for mid-June: highs in the mid 70s to near 80; lows in the upper 50s to low 60s. By the end of June, look for the season’s next heat wave (a prolonged period of excessively hot and abnormally humid days; the guidelines for usage of this term vary, but typically we look for heat indices above 90 for at least three consecutive days).
