May has certainly been on the warmer side with temperatures as we've already seen more than half the days this month with temperatures above average! This doesn't look to change as we head towards the month as high pressure will looks to keep us above average through the rest of May!Starting with today with high pressure moving to our east today, winds will gradually shift southward allowing for warmer temperatures to creep up into the region. Today as well as tomorrow could be the warmest days not only of the month, but the entire year so far as plenty of sunshine both days should bring us into the upper 80's.
Through the evening tomorrow a weak cold front is expected to move through the state line which may bring an isolated sprinkle or two to some of us. However, the biggest impact will be sending our temperatures down into the 70's towards the end of the week. Thankfully, our upper-level pattern will continue our very warm pattern with upper-level ridging developing, on the flip side though this will also keep us very dry heading into June. As we round out the month, precipitation probabilities may need to be monitored quite heavily as this year's May might be one for the record books in terms of record low precipitation.
