ELISA
ANOTHER WARM AND HUMID START
WITH
TEMPERATURES WELL INTO THE LOWER
70'S AT THE BUS STOP. TODAY WILL
BE MUCH LIKE YESTERDAY. HIGH
PRESSURE IN CONTROL UPSTAIRS IN
THE ATMOSPHERE KEEPS US MOSTLY
SUNNY,
SOUTHERLY WINDS KEEP US HOT AND
HUMID. PIECES OF A BOUNDARY
STILL SIT EAST OF HWY 65, SO
LIKE
YESTERDAY, AN ISOLATED STORM
WILL BE POSSIBLE THERE.
OTHERWISE, THE HEAT WILL BE THE
BIG STORY AGAIN,
HIGH OF 93 DEGREES WILL BE MUCH
ABOVE AVERAGE AND FEEL CLOSER TO
100 DEGREES WITH THE
HUMIDITY.
TONIGHT WE'LL STAY MOSTLY CLEAR,
WARM, AND
MUGGY WITH LOWS IN THE LOWER
70'S.
TOMORROW, HIGH PRESSURE REMAINS
IN
CONTROL. SKIES STAY MOSTLY
SUNNY. HIGHS POP BACK INTO THE
LOWER 90'S FEELING CLOSER TO 100
DEGREES.
WE STAY MOSTLY SUNNY, HOT, AND
HUMID ON
THURSDAY WITH HIGHS IN THE LOWER
90'S. A COLD FRONT APPROACHES
LATE THURSDAY EVENING/
OVERNIGHT WITH A LINE OF
SHOWERS/ STORMS. THERE MAY BE
ENOUGH JUICE IN THE ATMOSPHERE
INITIALLY
TO POP AN ISOLATED STRONG/
SEVERE STORM, BUT WE'LL FIND A
WEAKENING TREND
OVERNIGHT.
STORMS LINGER ESPECIALLY
SOUTHEAST BY
FRIDAY MORNING, CLEARING FRIDAY
AFTERNOON.
BEHIND THIS FRONT, NORTHWEST
WINDS WILL
BRING IN A COOLER, MORE
COMFORTABLE, SEASONAL AIR MASS.
HIGHS ON FRIDAY WILL BE MUCH
CLOSER TO
AVERAGE IN THE LOW TO MIDDLE
80'S.
WE'LL STAY SEASONAL ON SATURDAY
BUT THE
COOLDOWN IS SHORT-LIVED. THE
HIGH PRESSURE MOVES EAST KICKING
SOUTHERLY WINDS AGAIN
BY SUNDAY, PUSHING HIGHS BACK UP
TOWARDS 90 DEGREES EARLY NEXT
WEEK.

We apologize for the late notice
but wanted to communicate with
all parents about a possible
threat the school district
became aware of late this
evening (Monday, Sept. 9th)
through
social media. With reports from
parents and students and the
work of our administration and
local law enforcement we were
able to quickly investigate and
address the situation. We
greatly appreciate the work of
local law enforcement to handle
the situation.
Hollister families in reference
to the threats against Hollister
Schools made on 09/09/2019 via
social media we have been
working directly with the
