Our afternoon temperatures will lower today but remain on the hot side of things. The good news as we start a new week is the weather pattern changes, as we discussed earlier, with a cool trough of low pressure dropping down from the north. We even have a risk of sprinkles or light showers midweek.
Afternoon high temperatures Tuesday through Thursday will remain below average, struggling to reach 80 degrees. It may remain in the 70s. Enough of a cooldown for you? Today marks the 15th day of highs at or above 90 degrees this season. About average for the entire summer.
More hot weather on the way? Possible but let’s get through this week and enjoy the cooldown. When the Clark County Fair opens Friday, we will inch the temperatures back to normal in the low 80s. During the run of the fair, it should be in the 85-to-90-degree range. At least that is how it looks as of this writing. Forecasts change as we know, so stay tuned.
The cooler air from the north may kick off a shower or two and that would be welcome by most, I’m sure. Cooler nighttime lows heading our way are most welcome. Friday it reached 113 degrees at Hanford — now that is hot. Vancouver remained “cooler” with 98 degrees.
