Hello everyone!
Today will feature the last mainly cloud free day for nearly a week. Highs will be near 50 at the coast and in the mid 50’s inland. A stiff onshore wind will keep the coast cooler. The wind will also make it feel a lot colder than it actually is. East winds could gust over 20 mph.
So how did we do yesterday? We did all right. Of course, I would love to have done better but here’s how our forecast compared to actual observations. Temps: Only off by a degree or two. Since we don’t forecast specific temps for specific locations (Yet), this one is hard to compare but we called for low 50’s whereas the high at Portland was 54. We overdid the winds a bit for most though the Jetport observations lined up nicely with our forecast. We called for 20-25 MPH winds when numerous gusts in that range were reported throughout the day yesterday. We did nicely on the clouds with overcast skies dominating yesterdays weather.
