High cloud cover will factor in somewhat prominently on Wednesday, but we’ll still get plenty warm with the filtered sunshine. Expect highs in the mid-80s after a low 60s start.

The heat turns back up to levels closer to Monday’s upper 80s with another couple runs at the 90° mark for the first time in 2024 coming up Thursday and Friday. High clouds will clear, leaving behind a mostly sunny sky on Thursday. A surface trough will move into the area Friday, which could act as an instigator for a few showers or thunderstorms in the afternoon (though most will stay dry). If we don’t hit 90° Thursday, we should do it Friday.

The above-normal warmth carries into Saturday before a front knocks temperatures back down to more seasonable levels for Sunday into next week. (Alas, the aforementioned front will also keep shower and thunderstorm chances in the forecast over the weekend as well, though it won’t be a washout.)

Programming note

The podcast is on hiatus for a few days again while I work through some emergencies at my job. Just can’t seem to win on this these days. It’ll be back by this weekend if not sooner. Thanks for hanging in!
