I expect to see golf courses crowded, bass boats on the lake, and a lot of people outdoors everywhere this weekend! It looks like we almost definitely make it into the 60s on Saturday. A few clouds may keep us in the mid to upper 50s on Sunday, but if those are only high, thin clouds, we’ll still make it to 60 anyway.
If it does make it to 60 or higher on Saturday and Sunday, it will be the first weekend to have that since November 20-21, the weekend before Thanksgiving. Take a look at high temperatures over the past 10 weekends.
Nov. 20-21 71/75
Nov. 27-28 57/58
Dec. 4-5 61/43
Dec. 11-12 57/53
Dec. 18-19 51/51
Dec. 25-26 39/35
Jan. 1-2 64/45
Jan. 8-9 48/32
Jan. 15-16 48/56
Jan. 22-23 44/46
Unless the forecast crashes and clouds come roaring in ahead of schedule Sunday morning, this will be the warmest weekend in 10 weeks. I’m headed to Bluff Creek Saturday; the old 1973 Manatee will start. It always does.
