People were asking me what kind of a weekend it would be — a work out in the yard type or a stay in with a good book type. I advised having a good read; after all, you had last weekend to get outdoors and strain yourself!
Decent rains fell Thursday and Friday, pushing our April total to well over 1/2 inch. With more forecast Saturday night and today we will top the 1-inch mark for sure. Behind the front, blustery winds will surface today with possible afternoon thunderstorms. April in all its glory!
Cooler air will arrive in the mountains for 5-10 inches of fresh snow mainly above 4,000 feet today and Monday. This week looks unsettled at times — April showers in the forecast all week, but a few breaks.
I was thinking April would be dry and warm, but so far it’s wet — even though there was no measurable rain in the first three days. Then, in Vancouver, both April 4 and 5 saw 0.26 of an inch of rain. The average mean temperature for the first five days of the month was 56.1 degrees, 5.7 degrees above average. So the warm part verifies but with cool temperatures on tap all week that average will slide.
