"near normal" is what I said and those -2 and even -4 are still pretty close to average. Maybe not within the met community, I'll leave that to others, but as a casual observer.
Let's go...one of the grrreatest Springs ever?
Friday and Saturday...
Upper level ridging will be in control of our weather Friday and
Saturday keeping our weather dry and quite mild. 850T rising from
+5C/+6C Friday to around +8C by Saturday will support unseasonably
mild temperatures given good mixing anticipated. Afternoon high
should reach between 65 and 70 on Friday and probably the upper 60s
to the lower 70s by Saturday. It will be cooler along the immediate
coast much of the time; as weak gradient will support diurnal sea
breezes.
