Perfect highs

Not one but two outlets perfectly nailed the high temperatures on both days of our Lake Havasu City forecast. Clime and The Weather Channel were the two forecasting groups that showed that incredible accuracy, but it was the low temperature forecast that settled this forecast. Clime was better than The Weather Channel, and earned the win.

Lake Havasu City, Arizona

Lake Havasu City is probably one of the longest names for a a forecast site that we have. On the other hand, it’s position between Las Vegas and Yuma typically means a particularly brief forecast.

At 815AM, PT, Lake Havasu City was reporting a temperature of 84 degrees with fair skies. Dew points in the area were in the low 50s, though that isn’t terribly absurd for this time of the year, with the monsoon active. Most of the wet weather is at elevation, and will continue to be so in the eastern part of Arizona.
An upper level trough is on its way into the northern Rockies, which will reorient the regional flow. Cooler, denser air will be angled off the Pacific towards Lake Havasu City, and will have a difficult time reaching the area. Dew points are expected to drop, and the threat for clouds or spotty rain showers will disappear with the feature’s arrival.

A little variety to the forecast in Lake Havasu City. I’m a little surprised that this is how it shook out. Satellite is clear in California, and getting clearer in Arizona.
