Warmest Days Forecast Verifies

In my last blog we talked about the weather patterns responsible for my forecasting each successive day from Wednesday to Friday to be the warmest this year.  Other than Santa Rosa (Wednesday was the warmest, then Thursday was the warmest, but Friday was not) Mother Nature was with me.  

Below are the official reporting stations, the high and low temperature recorded during the given day, their average high and low temperature for the date, and the highest temperature since the beginning of the year.
