Storm still on track for sometime late tonight into tomorrow. The entire system seems to be slowing down, causing some splitting. This should result in some warmer air and windier conditions. Neither are a blessing for the powder hounds out there. Rain should continue well through Saturday, but we are still expecting clearing for Sunday. Get out there and enjoy that sunny weather while you can.
Next system to hit the Bay Area late Tuesday and last through the day on Wednesday. Another clearing on Thursday with more rain starting some time Thursday and lasting through the weekend. More storms to follow every few days. Looks like the current trend is some wet weather. March should be lion; can can only hope April is the lamb.
Remember that anything past today is hard to forecast, especially when looking beyond 4 days out. While is does currently show a very wet pattern developing, this could all change by the beginning of next week.
This Sunday could be a good time to plant some lettuce and beet seeds. As long as it is not too wet, and we get enough warm sunny days to heat the soil, you could be enjoying a nice May harvest. Avoid putting any potatoes in the ground just yet; the rot would just be too dangerous. Even if you are not planting, this would be a good time to get out and turn some soil and activate the green manure that is (at least in my back yard) wondrous clover.
Snow this weekend is suspect. Sure, we will get some (or rather plenty), but it may be a lot of heavy slop. OTOH, this is the famous Sierra Cement that pastes the steeps and opens up the gnar.
And did anybody notice the strawberries on the market last week. Bummed I missed them. But the warm weather we had produce a decent harvest - even if just for a week. Back to citrus for now.
