We're moving (as usual) into a late May pattern of rainier (didn't say "really rainy") weather. The big high that parked over us in May (not unusual for that, except the degree of heat of course was a never-before) is finally moving SE and E. Will we have summer weather which means the high will shortly re-strengthen and sit on us again? Too early to tell, but not for at least another week.
With the high gone, the lows will swing south and although probably not drench us, put some rain here/there, enough to green things up.
I said it before, and I'll say it again - the weather in the spring doesn't necessarily foretell the weather in the summer. I have no idea how bad the summer will be (nor really does anyone else except maybe the CPC, and they can only use past data to roll the dice). Last year we had a dry spring and then June went nuts into August, one of the cooler/rainier summers in the past 25 years or so.
I don't expect that this year. In fact it could get bad, well duh. But don't know. Hopefully if any rain can re-wet and re-cool the ground and keep June temps moderate. (Thankfully this beatdown high hit while the stuff was still green, mitigating the temps, that why we "surprisingly" haven't hit 100° yet, despite numerous predictions by now - and we won't probably until Friday, which is almost certain - then the cool-off).
Yeah this has the potential to shape up like a 2011 inferno summer, no doubt (though there were differences between now and 2011 springs). But I remain cautiously optimistic that it might not be so bad.
And if it is, maybe those frickin' Calis will move out. That would be the best thing to happen from this. Stay tuned.
