I’ve now used highlighting a few times on the extended forecast, and I’m becoming more and more of a fan of it.  So much so that I plan to use it on a regular basis to help communicate how confident I’m feeling about a forecast.  This should be a nice tool for letting my you, wonderful viewers, know when a forecast is more likely to change or stay about the same.

Here’s a nice little chart to help you visualize what the colors mean.

Looking ahead

We have a brief wet period late Friday evening through most of Saturday.  It won’t be a washout, but showers will come and go during this time keeping things wet. 

Sunday is a transition day with clouds around, cool, but dry.

Monday is the beginning of a much drier and warmer pattern.  You can see with my new confidence highlighting scheme that I have higher than normal confidence in next week being much warmer.  It will be a very nice stretch of days that should carry into next weekend (28th – 30th) and maybe even longer.
