68 / 54 off a low of 53. Gorgeous day ahead - low 80s. Overall near normal and dry the next 5 days, still would watch Tue pm and into Wed for trend for showers but latest forecast keeps much or all rain well south. Ridging builds in spurts with signal for a fast push and surge of heat into the area Fri (6/14) and next Sat (6/15) before a brief trough/front moves in. Then much warmer by 6/17 - the extent of ridging to be determined - tendency for weakness into the NE may persist a bit longer and keep the heat in / out rather than sustained but overall warmer / hotter once to mid month. Ridge should bounce back much of the second half for a day or 2 of heat before sustained heat etsablishes late int he month

77 / 59 and looking like a truly spectacular day today and a very beautiful weekend. Looking mainly dry and near normal the next week, could see some showers and rain trend in the Tue night (6/11) - Wed (6/12) period. Warmer by mid month with ridging building east. IF we do remain mainly dry the next week - the heat could turn impressive in the 6/16 and beyond period. Will need to watch for cutoffs undercutting the ridge. First week of the month near +5 for many - next 7 shoould shave that down to closer to +2 then the second half looking above normal lines June up similar to May or stronger +3.

1.12 in the bucket. A warm, cloudy and humid 73/72 out now. Clouds could break at times and a steamy low 80s today with more scattered storms later this PM and evening. Clearing out Fri and this weekend is so far looking dry - no hear but near normal (80s/60s). Overall a gentle trough keeping it near normal to slightly above. Warmer by mid month with ridgng nosing into the east. Caveat for heat would be onshore flow as this pattern has tendency for cutoff lows to develop, otherwise much warmer by mid month and heat the second half looking in the 6/17 period and on.
