Disembarking the Chilly Train

We have stepped off the winter train, and now the chilly train over the last 2 weeks. Now we are riding on the cool train for this week.  And as we enter May a brief burst into mild weather?  Yes!  But for how long?  

First this week (details on chart below): 

• Monday: Sunny and beautiful. 60's
• Tuesday: Rain arrives by late evening, possibly sooner. 60.
• Wednesday: Periods of rain. Cool. 50's
• Thursday and Friday: Partial sunshine. Slight chance for a shower. Near 60. 
• Saturday: Chance for rain. Cool. 50's.

For the most part, other than today, our average high temperature for this week will be in the 50s to near 60 most days. Warmer than last week, but still cool for the end of April.  

What about a warm up as we head into May?  It does appear that next Mon - Thu we have the opportunity to warm up nicely. A ridge is likely to build just to our south, and will likely push into our area for a few days. If this happens we could see temperatures rise into the 70's. However, we must be wary of that "back-door" cold front or something similar that can cut off our warmth, like what happened just over a week ago. 

Over-all we are improving. Spring has arrived, and leaves will be bursting forth very soon, as will the sound of mowers trimming the lawns.  

Enjoy.
