We are into our five-day stretch of dry weather so get out and enjoy it. Overnight lows will be milder than last week, with this morning being the coolest. Still some colder outlying areas may see some frost.
Don’t get too antsy to set out tender plants. The old saying goes around here as long as there is snow on Silver Star mountain to our east, a killing frost is possible. Take a look later today and you’ll see plenty of white up there yet.
The last week of winter will go out much as it has this year, mostly sunny and dry. The only rain chances left for February are this Saturday, Feb. 29. A cold weather system is forecast to drop in and pay us a visit on the last day of this month and the first day of March. I don’t expect heavy rain or windy conditions with this front but we’ll see how the week wears on.
The weak cold front Sunday brought us some blustery conditions with the winds in the 30-40 mph range. Enough to topple the garbage cans for sure. Rainfall was on the light side except a few scattered heavy downpours. You know if you got one in your neighborhood. Perhaps some small hail too.
