Our advertised cooling trend is underway today as more marine air filters inland and turns off the heat. It took awhile, but we will have much cooler conditions the next two weeks.
It appears the folks back east will see a return to hot and humid conditions while we cool off, which is quite common as far as weather patterns go. Possibly, later in August, we will switch once again, Hot weather is definitely not out of the summer forecast.
We also see an increasing chance of showers by next Monday. Unusual for August. As the marine clouds thicken later Wednesday through Friday, we could even see some morning drizzle or sprinkles, the kind of daily weather the coastal beaches have had during the recent hot spell.
We should get into the middle to upper 80s today. I don’t think we’ll reach 90, but that depends on how much ocean air arrives. During the next two weeks, we will see high temperatures at times well below the averages of low 80s, dipping to the middle to upper 70s at times. I don’t think I will hear any complaints after the sweltering heat wave.
