Tranquil with a Slight Chance of Showers by Week's End

Sorry, I have been out of commission for a few days, bogged down by affliction.

So the past week's stormy weather has come to an end with sunshine and warmth once again a dominant feature. We did get better than expected water and snow pack build up, so I expect the April 1st reports will have us in good shape, but an April 5th report would be even better!

Current forecast is a warm and sun filled center of the week. Cooling to return by Saturday, with a very slight chance of showers overnight and into Sunday. Slight chance to continue through Monday.

looks like more high pressure for the work week, until about the 15th, when we may see a change in the pattern. Being over a week out, we will have to wait and see how the pattern progresses. We are not solid into spring, so expect tranquil weather and coastal winds to be the norm.

Things are staying pretty cool in the mountains, so no strong run off expected just yet. Still, we have the best pack we have seen in years, so this will be a great river run season. Dig out your kayak and neoprene, or sign up for a rafting tour to get in on the white water fun.

Still a good time to get your gardens going. it is not too late for tomatoes and other long growing season crops. If you are thinking about corn, get them seeded soon. Same goes with winter variety squash - if you start them too late, you get small stunted plants. The current forecast is looking great for young seedlings. while we do expect some cooling, it should not get as cold as the past few days. Also - expect a lot of winter greens to bolt this week, after the last cool spell. Time to harvest!
