This morning it was looking like today would be a few degrees warmer than yesterday’s forecast. Keep in mind that yesterday’s “actual” was about three to seven degrees warmer than the forecast.
So today, I forecast for about three degrees above the morning model runs projections. I went with 96 in Amarillo. And now, it looks like the NAM is pegging 97-ish degrees for Amarillo later this afternoon.
That’ll be within five degrees of the record for today. Not bad.
