We have 100% clear skies early this morning as the sun peeks over the mountains. It's been a chilly night... I've recorded a low temp of 46.9F (8.3C). There has been no rainfall since the few sprinkles late yesterday afternoon.
Things are sure looking hopeful this morning... but we may be seeing a different scenario by this afternoon. A couple of weak upper-level disturbances containing pockets of very cold air aloft will be sliding through the area during the next 24 hours. Honestly, this is the most difficult weather situation to get a handle on here on the edge of the mountains. There is going to be increasing instability as the surface heats up during the morning and mid-day hours... which could lead to some scattered showers and/or thunderstorms popping up. That potential will last overnight, and into Thursday as well. Enjoy the morning sun... but at least be prepared for a sudden turn of events... both today and tomorrow.
Although I'm not totally confident in a shower-less weekend... at this point it does appear that sunshine will dominate. Temperatures will remain a notch or two below normal for early March... but fairly pleasant nonetheless...
