  1. 16-day rainfall outlook

    Warmer weather favored for the rest of the growing season Hotter and drier than normal for much of July

    Author(s): Jim Noel

    After a cool spring, we are playing catch up fast with a warm June. June will end up being 1-3 degrees above normal with rainfall 50-100% of normal. The warm weather will continue for the rest of the summer. Maximum temperatures will likely be 1-3 degrees above normal in July. However, overnight temperatures will be even warmer, some 3-6 degrees above normal. Expect high temperatures in July to commonly be in the 85-95 range with overnight temperatures in the 65-75 degree range.

Though not nearly as wet as last year, it has been wetter than average through the first five months of 2020.
