The weather for Father’s Day is going to be perfect
Sunday's weather couldn't be any more ideal.
Sunday is Father’s Day and I’m not sure we could ask for better weather. Dad’s day should be special and the weather this year will be one big smiling sunshine.
If Dad likes to play a round of golf, it will be dry and cool for the early round, but warming up in the 80s during the afternoon. If he’s playing a course by the sea, he can expect temperatures to be cooler, mostly in the 70s.
Predicted high temperatures Father’s Day, 2016.
The sun is very strong—actually the most intense of the entire year this weekend—so be sure you and Dad have sunscreen.
If you’re heading to the beach, look for light winds and pleasant temperatures at the shoreline. High tide will occur just before noon, along with a light wind which may turn into a sea breeze in a few spots. Generally winds will be from the south, otherwise.
Water temperatures remain quite chilly, so have a towel handy.
Sunrise is at the earlier levels of the entire year and the sunset is also within a couple of minutes of the latest times we experience. This gives us well over 15 hours of daylight everywhere—and this is the weekend with the most daylight on the calendar.
Temperatures will start in the 50s very early Sunday, but quickly get into the 70s by the mid-to-late morning, and then head into the lower 80s inland.
You may not even see a cloud during the day Sunday, as high pressure remains in control.
Barbecue weather for lunch or dinner will be ideal. The sun will be the only issue if your grill isn’t in the shade: Temperatures in full-on sun this weekend will definitely be on the warmer side.
The next chance of seeing clouds and showers comes Tuesday, when a cold front crosses the region. This front is likely to bring showers and thunderstorms Tuesday afternoon and evening. It’s early in the game, but the storms could be strong, more on that next week. Until then, have a great Father’s Day, and enjoy the fantastic weather!
