All the weather prognosticators were calling for an 80 degree mark on Monday and I sure got close but no cigar. Some locations locally achieved the milestone but I registered a 78.6 degree mark. That was good enough to be the warmest so far this year.
After all that warm weather over the winter, I figured 80 would have come in March. It looks like it may have to wait until May.
It's all good though mid to upper 70s is fine by me :)
Get out and soak it up my friends, soak it up.

Some Serious Sequential Sunshine
That National Weather Service has a forecast that most people around these parts at this point in the year will find most pleasing!
All that pretty white snow clinging to the foothills doesn't stand a chance against this week of glorious, sunnylicious ecstasy! Oh sunshine and seventies how we miss you so. Who knows maybe that first 80 degree mark of the season will slip into the mix. Probably not, but you never know.
Well you really don't have an excuse now, so get out and soak it up my friends, soak it up.

It's Snowing Outside!
April Fools!
It is definitely not snowing outside today nor in fact has it snowed at all this year! Frozen precipitation this time of year tends to arrive in form of hail from thunderstorms. We had some of that over the last few days for sure and more will likely arrive locally today.
March is in the books and it was a bit of a roller coaster ride which is par for the course in what is generally the most tumultuous month of the year.
The mighty month of March delivered to us out first 70 degree temperature of the year and the first since October 17th. That glorious 71.9 was the first and only 70 thus far and it came on the 27th. But March was not shy about playing in the sixties as that happened 17 times! This was overall a balmy little March with an average high of 61.35 degrees nearly 7 degrees above my 13 year average! As is true with most late winter early spring transitions, there was some chilly temps as well. I observed a slightly warmer than normal average overnight low of 40.58 and 1.5 degrees higher than typical. The chilliest night came early in the month, no surprise there. A 27.3 degree low on the 4th was one of only 4 subfreezing days and only 2 in the 20s. The warmest minimum temperature came on the 14th when the coldest it got was toasty 51.4 and the chilliest afternoon was also a balmy 53.7. This is the first March I have recorded in 13 years at this location where all 31 days broke the fifty degree mark.
Precipitation was a little on the light side with 4.86 inches in the bucket against my average for March of 5.52. There was no frozen precipitation aside from a few bouts of hail from highly localized thunderstorms. In fact, nearly half of the precipitation fell on just two days, the 14th and 15th where 1.35 inches came on 14th followed by .90 inches the next day. March was kind enough to deliver 14 sunny days and just 11 with rain.
Looking forward to the rest of the week should be mostly showery with isolated thunderstorms. April is here and the big question is: will she deliver us our first 80 degree mark? we shall see; in the mean time, get out and soak it up my friends, soak it up.
