I don't hold much stock in forecasts beyond a few days, but the trends are pointing toward a warm June 22 in Coeur d'Alene for Ironman. From the Spokane office discussion today:
AS WOULD SEEM LIKELY WITH THE RETROGRESSION OF THE RIDGE EXPECTED BY THE END OF NEXT WEEK...850 MB TEMPERATURES WILL LIKELY SOAR TOWARD THE WEEKEND. THE RESULT IS A PRETTY STRONG WARMING TREND AFTER THURSDAY. HOWEVER...WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY TEMPERATURES WILL LIKELY BE HIGHLY INFLUENCED BY ANY SHORT WAVE DEVELOPMENT AND PASSAGE...WITH THE MODELS CURRENTLY INDICATING THURSDAY TO BE THE COOLEST DAY OF THE WEEK. /FRIES
