80s Return

So far this year there have been 5 days at least 80 degrees in Salisbury, which is not uncommon. However it is not until early June where the average high is 80 degrees. Tomorrow looks to be our 5th day of 80 degree temperatures. High pressure drifts offshore during the day and the flow around high pressure is clockwise. So if you are on the backside of a high pressure system, you will have Southerly winds. These Southerly winds will combine with strong May sunshine allowing temperatures to reach 80 degrees or higher away from the water.

The 80 degree temperatures will not be long lived as a frontal boundary approaches on Thursday and Friday bringing clouds and the chance for showers, especially on Friday as an area of low pressure crosses the mid-Atlantic. Temperatures fall to near average on Friday into the weekend.
