Heat kicks in for this second week of April

 

The heat is here! High temps reached the low 70s on Monday for our second day in the 70s this month! And the heat isn't going anywhere for at least a few more days! April averages three days in the month at or above 70* and we likely get at least double that by the end of this week. The record number of 70* days in the month is 11 which we could make a run at.

Tuesday should be well into the 70s with 80* a possibility on both Wednesday and Thursday. Still warm for the end of the week as well with highs on Saturday in the 60s still 10* above-average.

We are officially on record watch. The record for Tuesday in the low 80s is probably safe but Wednesday's forecast high is only a couple degrees away from the record and right now a high of 80* on Thursday would break the 100+ year record high.

Enjoy the unusually summer-like warmth while we have it because it won't last. The 6-10 day temperature outlook shows a 40-50% chance for below-average temperatures. That would be the beginning to middle of next week when the average highs are in the mid 50s. Right now highs look to stay around 50* during that time.
