While the East Coast trudges thru a record winter, we are enjoying June in February, with temperatures running much above normal and dry weather. This could change by Friday and into the weekend as a couple of upper lows from Canada drop into the Great Basin. This will flatten the ridge and move it farther into the Pacific. Keep in mind that these lows are coming across land, so they are not going to have much moisture, maybe a 20% chance of showers for our area. At the least we will see some clouds and a significant drop in temperatures back to February like. Stay tuned…DMATT
