Warm Start To The Week . . . Then Cooler

August is off to a warm start with all 4 days above the average high temperature of 84 degrees (for the first 3 days) and 83 degrees today (we hit 91!).  August is continuing where July left off.  July was the first month this year in which our average monthly temperature was above average (3.7 degrees above). We had 12 days last month at or above 90 degrees and we've added one in August now. 

Our temperatures will continue above average thru Wednesday before they start to fall below the average high - subsequent to the passage of a strong cool front from the Northwest. It looks like temperatures will continue to trend on the cool side as the Climate Predication Center has released its forecast for August, and the forecast shows a 40% chance that temperatures will be below average.  In addition to the forecast, our average temperatures peaked and now are starting to fall - so lets appreciate the remaining warm days we have this month!
