Hey guys! I may not be as long winded this time, but I'm going to try and forecast for Blaine again.

Overcast skies will rule our day followed by one last shot of arctic air before we warm up a bit. It won't feel like summer tomorrow, but at least we'll be out of the negatives!
High: 13
Low: -1
Wind: SSE 8-12mph
Precip: 0.02



Tomorrow:
We'll start the day off socked in with clouds and will slowly turn to mostly cloudy skies by the end of the day with winds out of the south bringing warmer temperatures.

April 3rd and 4th

Today:
The cool down is upon us! Wuh wuh wuh! Grab the kiddies and head for shelter! We got all the way up to 72 degrees yesterday, but won't even head over 60 today as a low pressure system clips us and heads up into Canada. Although our high temps will be more than 12 degrees cooler than yesterday, we're still sitting nearly 10 degrees above average for this time of year! Not too shabby if you ask me! We'll keep those blustery winds around, along with some clouds in the sky and will see a chance at some rain tonight.

High: 59
Low: 46
Precip: 0.04
Winds: 10-15mph SW

Tomorrow:
Our chances at precipitation will fade away, but we'll keep some clouds lingering around. Our high temperature will climb back into the mid 60's with winds lightning up.

High: 65
Low: 43
Precip: None
Winds: 8-12mph S

Yesterday's Actual vs. Forecasted:
High: 72/69
Low: 44/43

April 2nd and 3rd

Today:
We broke 80 yesterday! What a glorious day! The sun was shining, and it felt as if it were the middle of July! I hope you had a chance to get out and enjoy it, because things are taking a bit of a turn today! We are sopped in with clouds with no chance at clearing them out anytime soon. Associated with these clouds is a good amount of rain, and a rumblin and a bumblin! Expect the storms to last all day, tapering off into the wee morning hours tomorrow.

High: 69
Low: 43
Precip: 0.20
Winds: 12-18mph S

Tomorrow;
We will cool things off a bit for tomorrow as the storms from today clear out. We've got a chance at seeing a little bit of sun, mainly in the afternoon hours before rebuilding the cloud deck later in the day. Winds will remain high and blustery, but that should be the most weather we'll see, besides possibly a trace amount of precipitation later in the evening.

High: 59
Low: 42
Precip: Trace
Winds: 10-14 mph SW

April 1st and 2nd

Today:
The warm trend continues! Can you believe we're nearly 30 degrees above average (49) for this time of year? Holy canolie! We'll keep the skies mostly clear, but will start to build clouds late in the day in advance of our next storm system that will roll through tomorrow. Winds will start low (5-7mph), but will pick up into the evening hours (10-14). We won't see any precipitation today, so get out and enjoy the last nice day you'll have for a while!

High: 76
Low: 58
Precip: None
Winds: 6-14mph SSE

Tomorrow:
We have been spoiled for the past week, but tomorrow it all ends. Clouds will roll in early in the morning (2-3am) and bring plenty of rain and thunderstorms with them. This will keep things much cooler than we've become accustomed to, which will be the trend as we move forward, heading back closer to our average for this time of year.

High: 65
Low: 45
Precip: 0.7 inches
Winds: 10-15mph

Yesterday's Actual vs. Forecasted:
High: 76/75

March 31st and April 1st

Today:
We truly have a beautiful day ahead of us! We are going to see nearly a repeat of yesterday, with the high in the mid 70's and plenty of sunshine! We are starting our day with partly cloudy skies. Those should clear up and leave us plenty of time to absorb a little bit o' sunshine. If you've been outside over the last couple days (which I hope you have), you've had to contend with some pretty gusty winds. The winds will stick around early, but will begin to die off around the usual dinner hour (6pm). No precipitation is expected, and we'll keep the humidity values low as well making for a gorgeous June-July like day! Get out there and enjoy it!

High: 75
Low: 52
Precip: None
Winds: 6-10mph S

Tomorrow:
Tomorrow our temperatures will decrease slightly thanks to a thicker cloud deck, making it harder for the sun to reach us. We'll still top out in the 70's, but expect closer to 71-72 rather than the mid to upper 70's we've been enjoying lately. The clouds will stick around for most of the day, as we've got some more weather on tap for your weekend. That's nothing we're going to have to worry about tomorrow though. We will again remain rain free and warm, with winds on the increase, but shifting out of the East later in the day.

High: 72
Low: 55
Precip: None
Winds: 5-8mph S early, 10-15mph E/SE late

March 30th and 31st

Today:
It seems as though no matter how beautiful it was, it just keeps getting better! We are looking at another gorgeous day for today. We will remain partly cloudy for most of the day, and will keep winds up consistently around 15-20mph. It's going to be a blustery one out there, so thank goodness we won't have to worry about a wind chill, as we're going to near 70! Precipitation is out of the picture and will be for today and tomorrow.

High: 69
Low: 48
Precip: None
Winds: 15-20mph S

Tomorrow:
Tomorrow has got a chance at being the nicest day of the week! We'll keep most of the clouds out of the region, allowing us to warm up considerably due to the awesome burning ball in the sky! The winds will die down making tomorrow a little bit more conducive to an outdoor activity. We haven't been this warm in a long time, and have kept fairly dry all March!

High: 75
Low: 50
Precip: None
Winds: 8-12mph S

March 29th and 30th

Today:
What a beautiful start to the week we're having! If you're pulling that tired head off of the pillow around 8:00am, you're seeing partly cloudy skies. Skies will clear, leaving only a stray cloud here and there, giving us abundant sunshine! The winds are still coming out of the N keeping the temperatures relatively cool, but a shift is in store that will make the temperatures tomorrow increase greatly! For those of you that have been enjoying temperatures in the upper 50's, and lower 60's, this will be your last day before a string of days in the 70s!

High: 60
Low: 35
Precip: None
Winds: 5-10mph N/NW

Tomorrow:
Holy canoley, spring is in full effect, and heck, it's going to feel like it's summer out there with where we're going to be sitting for the next few days! The winds that were bringing us cooler temperatures from the N/NW will shift and push from the SW bringing us some warm air, but will remain high, and blustery! This will keep us nearly 10 degrees warmer than Monday. That in combination with skies keeping mostly clear (building as we move into the evening) is setting us up for beautiful conditions for the next few days! What's that? You want more good news? Well, ok, but just this once. Not only are we going to be clear, warm, and sunny, but we'll keep the humidity down making it absolutely pleasant outside! Get out and enjoy the weather Blaine, you deserve it!
