Yes you read correctly, we are talking about the possiblity of actually hitting the 70 degree mark on Thursday. Now, dont get your hopes up because its only a slim possibility at this point. So, why the possibilty you ask? Well, some of the models are showing a couple of different boudaries working through the region at that time, i.e. cold fronts, wind direction changes.....etc. Well, when that happens, with the perfect conditions you can actually get a pooling of warm air out ahead of it. Just like when you stick your hand in a puddle of water and then move your hand, the water will pool up against your hand. The atmosphere can work in the same way. So, the picture below shows that happening along a slight change in wind direction.
This could actually help temperatures climb an extra couple degrees and allow us to hit the magic 70 degree number one more time before winter. Now, I have forecasted us to be a couple degrees shy of 70 for the time being. But if models continue to trend this way then 70 is a real possibility. But if it doesnt happen, then we will be in the upper 60's, which I think we can all live with this time of the year.
