Monday wasn’t too bad; a few widely scattered March showers and some afternoon sunshine to boot! Highs at least warmed a little into the low to mid-50s, which is a start toward warmer weather. However, did you feel the breeze Monday? Despite sunshine it was still chilly.
Today we are in between weather systems so enjoy the dry daylight hours. More rain arrives some time on Wednesday with possible showers lingering into Thursday.
The mountains get another foot of snow above the passes, making our snowpack in great shape. Less snow will fall at and below the passes, in the 5- to 10-inch range. The sun angle is high enough now that travel over the passes during midday should ensure wet pavement rather than snow covered.
We are still looking like a couple dry and warm days Friday and Saturday. Highs will be in the mid-60s; can we see a 70-degree high? Remember don’t get too antsy with placing plants outside. There will still be some frost in the near future most likely.
