Summer Like Temperatures For End of Week and Weekend.

Looks like we'll get an early taste of summer starting Thursday and lasting through the weekend.  A deepening trough in the west and a ridge in the east will contribute to very warm temperatures Thursday through Sunday for the eastern half of the US.  Looks like temperatures will be in the upper 80s and could even come close to hitting 90 Sunday.  There will be plenty of sun time over this four day span but there is a slight chance for some showers/storms on a couple of the days.  Overall, it will be a decent end to the work week and weekend.

	High Temps °F	Record °F
Thursday	84	88
Friday	86	87
Saturday	85	85
Sunday	87	85
Avg High	85.5

The GFS and Euro model both have our area close to the 90 degree contour for Sunday.  I wouldn't be surprised if we came close or hit 90.
