A (small) taste of summer
June 20th, 2012 by Matthew LeachIt’s a shame this forecast couldn’t be for the weekend, but nonetheless the next 36 hours will be beautiful and could finally showcase Western Washington’s famous “perfect summer weather”.
Today is already off to a wonderful start. As expected, skies
are mostly clear (yes, I did just turn around to look out the
window. I have to be sure! 
) and the temperatures are rising.
Expect highs to make it to the upper 60s and low 70s around most of
Kitsap County today.
If you voted partly sunny skies and highs in the 70s as your favorite summer weather, get ready for tomorrow! Forecasting models have fluctuated a bit on temperatures, but the general consensus is that we’ll at least make it to the low 70s, if not the mid 70s. This will be our first true taste of summer since…May!
Unfortunately, just like May’s warm spell, this one will end rather abruptly as several systems move through the area making for a pretty cool and cloudy weekend. Highs will range from the mid 60s Friday to lower 60s Saturday. Both days will feature periods of rain and much cooler temperatures.
Luckily, next week looks sunnier and drier than the past several
weeks have been, but we’ll still struggle to make it much beyond 70
degrees. Something tells me that won’t be a problem with too many
people
