We're going into the first weekend of summer and it looks and feels more like... Well anything but summer. Temperatures are going to remain cool and we've a chance of seeing precipitation Saturday and Sunday.

The big guy himself, upstairs corner office occupant Paul Fry, General Manger of the big 8 paid me a visit Friday, worried his weekend golf game would get rained on.

You know when the man signing the paychecks is not happy about the weather nobody else is either. So the big question in the newsroom tonight is when is summer really going to start.

Not just on the calander but weather wise. You know sunny skies, warm temperatures barbecue on the patio, going to a baseball games summer weather. The stations GM gets his golf games in kind of weather. We had a taste of summer weather earlier this week, before our weekend clouds and cooler temperatures returned.

My answer to the topic of the night, I think summer weather will return soon. Maybe as early as next week. The summer weather might stick around for a while too.

Climate prediction forecasts have come out this week pointing to a warmer and drier than normal conditions through September.

So maybe the saying "summer starts in the northwest on July 5th" might not hold true this year. It better start soon... there's nothing worse than feeling pressure from a station manager who has his golf games rained out. :-)
