It is hard for me to say that summer has come to an end because I am not really sure that it ever got started! This year it came much later than normal, not until early July, and with the way things have been these past couple of weeks, and what the projections are for the rest of this week, there isn't a lot of warmth left for us to enjoy. July and August turned out to be quite a bit cooler than average, and with the La Nina strengthening out in the Pacific I would expect below normal temperature to continue for the most part through the fall into the winter.
In the shorter term, this week's forecast calls for more of the same...the same stuff we had on Sunday and Monday. There are a few showers in the area this morning, and a few spots will be getting a bit wet today, with mostly cloudy skies for all of us and afternoon temperatures just in the mid to upper 60s. Mid to upper 70s are still the normal. Tomorrow looks like the best bet to get wet this week as the rain will be more widespread. Clouds and light rain will hold the temperatures down too, probably only reaching the low 60s, and then drier, but still cool weather is set through the end of the week. If we get much above 70 on Thursday or Friday it will be a surprise, but the sun will return again, and that will at least make it look a little warmer, and probably feel warmer if you are standing where the sun shines on you. Looking toward the weekend cool and dry is the indication, then it might just warm up a bit early next week, getting up into the 70s. Let's all hope and pray for that!
