really getting tired of "trough east".     Hoping for a good ole fashioned heat dome to set in.

Don't hold your breath.

In fact, probably more likely to have a 1997-esque (or worse, 2009-esque) Summer than anything with the looming "Super Nino."

Chilly morning with temps in the upper 10's/20's. Yesterday was a cool one in the lower 40's. Warmer today in the 50's/60's. Only for the weekend as temps head back into the 40's for next week.
