The past…
At Stevens Field the high temperature today was 85. The low this morning was 41.
We’ve only seen a few puffy cumulus over the mountains. This is due to valley breeze on both sides of the mountains in the warm afternoons. They sap what little moisture is in the air to form a few clouds.
The peak wind at Stevens Field on today has been 18mph.
| Average High | Record High / Year | Average Low | Record Low / Year |
| 78 | 98 / 1947 | 35 | 23/ 1951 |
Precipitation summary… We only had a few sprinkles Thursday afternoon. Otherwise there hasn’t been any precipitation for two days.

Precipitation Outlook
The Euro and GFS models have not been in agreement as to what is going to happen in the mid range.
The Euro wants to keep bringing in jet supported systems from the north. These will be mostly dry with limited showers over the mountains. This also knocks down the sub-tropical ridge trying to build that will help facilitate the beginning of the monsoon.
The GFS wants to build the sub-tropical ridge and wrap moisture in from the gulf – the first few sputters of the monsoon. Go GFS!
Either way it looks dry for at least the next two weeks.
Wildfire Danger Increases
Remember with these conditions, fuels will dry out quickly. Please be extra careful and vigilant in the back country to not inadvertently start a wildfire. Thank you!
The next post will be on Monday.
