In just one short week we set our clocks ahead for daylight saving time, jumped for joy with the Ides of March, wore the green on St. Patrick’s Day and welcomed the new season of spring. And spring rolled in during the night, with the last few daylight hours of winter having plenty of sunshine and afternoon temperatures in the mid- to upper 60s.
Unfortunately, the first full day of spring will see clouds and showers and much cooler temperatures reminding us it is still early in the season. The forecast this week calls for a chance of showers. It may dry out near the end of next week.
As usually happens with spring, we will have periods of sun and dry periods between the weather systems that will likely rotate around a broad trough of low pressure setting up in the Gulf of Alaska. Snow levels will bounce around a bit between pass levels and above.
I heard skiing and snowboarding was great Saturday with spring snow conditions after the powder snowfall. I was asked what the weather would be like on Easter. Typically, it can go either way between clouds and cold showers or sunny, mild weather.
