SACRUS

75 / 57 here and a hot but dry one on tap. Hottest day of the next 9 likely on tap with widespread mid - upper 80s and 90s n the warmer spots on a N/NW flow. Recent dryness will aid in enhancing highs above guidance. Looks mainly sunny through much of the afternoon. Some late clouds and showers possible as winds come around to the NE and push much cooler air into the region. Perhaps a few record highs are possible on the over achieving warmth. It w Still be interesting to see Sat (6/3) and how much sun vs low marine layer keeps it in the 60s or 50s along the coats. Looks to clear Sun (6/4) and push back to the low 70s but could see clouds hang around and if so , lower temps then. Mon (6/5) - Fri (6/9) trough into the northeast with cooler / near normal temps but guidance brings little if any rain chances. We'll have to see if the cut off / ULL swings some more rain chances in the area. Warmer by later next weekend and into the following week. Nothing clear yet on any of the long range guidance but would see a migration with ridging pushing east or pieces of building heat come over the top more frequent later in the month.

72/57 and on way to a warm start of the month in the low perhaps mid 80s . Some 12-15 hours of heat Friday, coupled with recent very dryness, should get 90 / low 90s in the warm spots on a N-NW flow. Flow turns around to ENE/NE by Friday overnight into Sat (6/3) perhaps a stray storm. Saturday ugly with clouds, drizzle and temps hung up in the upper 50s / low 60s. ULL looks positioned e/ne of the area through the weekend. So Sun (6/4) may clear out a bit but still cool. Trughing into the northeast 6/4 - 6/8. Keeps it cooler than normal overall by a bit and we'll see if rain chances materialize. Beyond there warming with the ECm most pronounced.

71/41 gorgeous california style weather.

back into the 80s to open the month Thu (6/1) and some stray 90 degree readings Fri (6/2) before a sharp change as strong NE flow pushes backdoor front through on Sat (6/3). Sat may stay in the low 60s or lower with clouds and drizzle (ugly day). Sun (6/4) perhaps a bit to clear out and remaining cool. Trough builds down next week ECM a bit flatter, GFS cuts off low and spins waves around it with rain chances next Tue - Wed (6/7). Beyond there heights are rising by the 9th and warmer push into the area. ECM much more robust on potential above normal, GFS closer to normal till md month.

Up to 62 off of lows in the lower 50s. Smoke visible and encroaching in C-LI heading SSW at a good clip. Cooler onshore flow today with most in the low 70s. A bit Warmer tomorrow md 70s before back to the 80s to open June Thu (6/1) and perhaps a stray 90 on Fri (6/2) as flow pushes down some warmth on NW flow. It's a quick warm up As the weekend turns much cooler and pending on guidance perhaps some rain/clouds to make Saturday (6/3) a raw one. Trough digs down into the NE and subsequent cut off between 6/6 - 6/9 should bring cooler / and next meaningful rain perhaps the next deluge. Beyond there heights looks to rise in the east and warmup into Mid month.

71 and mostly sunny. On way to upper 70s / low 80s and a gorgeous Memorial Day. Slip back nearer to 70 tomorrow with stronger onshore flow before moderating Tue (5/31). Still cant imagine we dont see a cloudier than forecast day tue as ull moves nearby and out. June opens warmer by Wed (6/1) and Thu (6/2) with shot at 90 in the warmer spots, coupled with recent arid conditions. more of a NNE flow by the weekend cools it back off as trough backs in 6/4 - 6/9 but overall near normal. Have to see if rain chances or meaningful rain increases in the period. Beyond there once more W/NW flow established should see warmer overall.

Continue to see rain chances abate in the longer range. INteresting pattern we are in.

67 and mostly sunny. As suspected clouds and even some rain showers much north of guidance (into the DelMarVa/SNJ). We'll see but should stay mostly clear north of there and on way to another beauty but suspect more clouds than Sat. Memorial day (5/29) a clone of today with upper 70s low 80s. Winds turn more onshore Tue (5/30) and drop temps back into the lower 70s. Warms a bit Wed (5/31) but the low associated with the cut off /ULL tracks out and east by the Thu (6/1) which should keep temps in the 70s/80s before the brief surge heat Fri (6/2) and perhaps Sat (6/3) Trough a bit less pronounced on subsequent sets of guidance so more normal to perhaps above overall beyond.
