Friday's stats:
Low temp: 39.0ºF (3.9ºC)
High temp: 52.4ºF (11.3ºC)
Precipitation: none
This first day of March featured a lot of beautiful blue sky and sunshine during the first half of the day, with the mildest temps since last Saturday. Clouds gradually thickened up during the PM hours, however, with temperatures sliding slightly, and totally overcast conditions well before sunset.
The next in a seemingly endless series of storm systems is taking shape to our west right now, and the latest computer model data would suggest that we could see some rain shower development by around noon tomorrow (Sat). There will be more moisture drawn into this system than we saw during the last one -- but temperatures are not expected to be nearly as cold. That will of course keep the snow line much further up-mountain until the very final stages late Monday into Tuesday, as some colder air tries to threaten us, temporarily. It's going to be a rather long period of off-and-on wet weather, with numerous periods of showers and thundershowers expected during that mid-day Saturday through Tuesday time frame.
There are hints of a better-looking realignment of our weather pattern by the latter part of next week, which could lead to our first preliminary tastes of real springtime weather as we head into the second week of March. Something to look forward to???
