The forecast models giveth and the forecast models taketh away. What looked like on Saturday a possible chance for some sunny and warm weather by this weekend has faded off the horizon as more cool and wet weather rolls along all week. I was trying to keep things shining.
Thursday will be the driest day. We may see hail and thundershowers today and Wednesday. The northerly jet stream wins and brings yet a couple more troughs of low pressure from the north-northwest. Good news, I guess, is snow will pile up in the Cascades. Too bad ski resorts are shut down.
March goes out today more like a lion if we can fire up a couple blustery thunderstorms. Of course, occasional sunbreaks should pop up also. But it will remain cool. The garden will have to wait a while and with snow falling down to the upper foothills here, any clearing at night for the next several weeks would bring a frost.
Monday’s cold front brought gusty winds to 50 mph along the coast and numerous hail showers. I saw some pictures of lawns all white with the ice pellets. Expect that again today but more widely scattered.
