West turning very cool

May 25, 2010 at 7:25PM

We are talking about way below-normal temperatures here, folks. The patternthat is evolving along the West Coast is more appropriate for April. In Fresnofor instance, the forecast high for Wednesday is 73, and for Thursday, it's 71.Compare those numbers to the normal high of 87, and you can see what I meanabout it being quite cool for late May.

Only the desert Southwest will remain hot Wednesday with afternoon temperaturesin the upper 90s and lower 100s, but even that is a far cry from how hot it canbe this time of year. The record high in Phoenix, Ariz., for May 26 is 112degrees.
