WeatherWatcher: June 18-24, 2011 - warmest day Tuesday at 63.7

The Shoreline/Lake Forest Park area continues to be strongly influenced by a marine air flow off of the pacific ocean, keeping us cool, mostly cloudy with occasional drizzle/rain showers.

Upcoming weather:

We will see more of the same, as I originally predicted earlier this month. We will probably continue to be strongly influenced by this marine air flow from the Pacific until about the end of the 1st week of July to possibly the 3rd week of July. Once we get out of this pattern we should warm up into the upper 70’s for highs, with a few days into the 80’s here and there to end our July and start August.

ENSO (la Nina, el Nino) status:

La Nina has dissipated into a neutral stage. Meaning we will have a normal summer more or less as far as temperatures and precipitation are concerned. We will probably have less than an inch of rain for July, and August with temperatures averaging for highs in the low-mid 70’s and possibly 80’s at times. I don’t think we’ll see more than a day or two reaching the 90’s.
