Thursday: Staying warm

/ October 23, 2024 at 10:44 PM

Warmer-than-normal temperatures prevail on Thursday as skies once again stay on the sunny side. A slightly chilly start in the upper 50s yields to the low 80s in the afternoon; dewpoints in the mid-50s yield relative humidity values around 40% in the afternoon, so it should be comfortable. We keep this going into Friday and Saturday as well, with a bit of a cooldown Sunday with a dry cold front that kicks up cloud cover but little else.

If you’re looking for rain, the news isn’t great in the next seven days as dry weather looks to prevail. There’s a meager shot (10%) for precipitation on Monday in association with the front, but the vast majority of rain will stay offshore. The current forecast keeps us dry through next Wednesday. However, the Climate Prediction Center is giving us slightly above-average odds for above-normal precipitation as we head into November. We’ll see how that pans out; for now, even though it seems silly getting this late into Fall, seems like watering remains the order of the day for the plants you want to keep going.
