TODAY'S FORECAST - WARMER AND STILL DRY! 57°F 10:00AM

WARMER AND STILL DRY! 57°F 10:00AM Hey hey Giovanni here. Spring is here and I couldn't be happier. It's time to clean up all the fallen branches and take care of the algae bloom in the pool we've ignored in the last month. Enjoy the sun! Today's temps may reach the low 60s with overnight lows in the mid 40s.

Our wonderful spring weather will be interrupted by Wednesday morning as a trough sits offshore ushering in a couple of days on inclement weather. Showers will be possible through Thursday as this weather pattern will take its time in leaving our region. Rain and snow totals won't be very impressive with snow above 7000ft. A stronger colder Pacific storm looks likely for Friday bringing us the possibility of t'storms and Sierra snow, but it looks like a fast mover. More on that soon.

The long range forecast looks wet as March comes to an end. Forecast models are pretty headstrong on a stormy weather pattern developing by the middle of next week and continuing right through the early part of the weekend. This stormy wet weather pattern doesn't look particularly strong nor that wet, but may be with us through the end of the month. Have a super Saturday.
