Mmmm . . . weather

They say that Memorial Day is the unofficial start of summer.  More importantly, it's the official start of barbecue season, which is perhaps my favorite eating season of the year, narrowly beating out chili season.  And it is with great pride and pleasure to announce that this start to the barbecue season should be nearly ideal.

That pesky low pressure system is finally making its way out to sea and, according to the barometer in my living room, high pressure is beginning to build.  Hence the relatively clear skies.  The air behind this low is still a bit on the cool side, so even though it is moving out and skies are clearing, temperatures will still be a bit on the cool side, although they'll certainly be warmer than the past few days.  It will also remain a bit breezy today as we are in between two pressure systems, and the contrast between the two will create a decent northwesterly breeze.

The weather continues to get nicer as we go more into the weekend.  Tomorrow will be a near-clone of today and Sunday looks to be even better as skies remain clear and temperatures rise into the upper 70s.  Monday also looks warm but there may be a chance of rain or a t-storm.  For now, I'd say do your grilling on Sunday (which is what I plan to do) rather than Monday.  But if Monday turns out nice and you want to bbq that day as well, I'm not going to stop you.

Today:  Some clouds, otherwise sunny and warmer.  High 71. Winds NW @10-15mph.

Tonight: Clear. Evening temps in the low 60s.  Morning low of 53.

Tomorrow:  Clear and sunny.  High 70.

Sunday: Sunny and warm.  High 77.

Monday: Sunny with a chance of late afternoon rain/t-storms.  High 79.
