5/5- Pretty nice week ahead

Good morning all and Feliz Cinco de Mayo!

Today is going to be a very nice day- residual clouds from the storm yesterday move out of the region. The one price we have to pay is wind- the gusts could be up to 30-40 mph this afternoon. Moving forward, Tues-Thurs will feature highly pleasant weather with little wind and sunny skies. Friday, however, we get trapped by a low pressure system and rain will recommence. Saturday could be the first day we have the dread 'hot humid and hazy' day of the year...but a cold front appears to be timed perfectly in the late afternoon that day to produce very strong storms, large hail, damaging winds, and maybe even tornadoes...I'll be watching it! Until then...enjoy! Here is the forecast for the week

Today: Sunny and windy- highs in the mid-60s but it will feel like 50s
Tuesday-Thursday: Sunny and mild, highs in the high 60s or low 70s
Friday- Periods of rain with a warm front. Highs in the low 70s
Saturday- Hot & humid with severe PM thunderstorms. Highs in the mid to high 70s (someone may get to 80 inland)

Enjoy the week!

Today in weather history- May 5, 2002- A large number of storm chasers get trapped when a tornado touches down almost directly on top of them...but luckily escape injury. Their cars, however, are not so lucky, and many are badly damaged.
