Might get up into the low/ mid 60s today. The sun is warm on the skin after almost a week of rain. And heavy rain at that. Areas to our north got hit real hard. Feels like we got hit hard, but the plume of moisture hitting the southern Cascades was immense. Shasta is blanketed. Snow levels were pretty high with this storm. Up along the crest a good three feet fell. Don't get to excited about this weekend, because while it was some great base builder, it was not all that powdery. Been a warm season up there so far. Down here, in town we saw several inches of rain over the weekend. Up in the local hills, areas received an excess of six. That is a ton of water. No reports have yet made it to me of major flooding or landslides. We weathered this one pretty well. My French drain worked as planned.
Tuesday should start off decent enough. Clouds should be present by morning, but showers are not likely until late in the day. In fact, this next system would really like to stay just to our north and barely brush us with weather. Us snow overs are hoping it pushes a bit further south and pulls some cold air down. In stead, things could warm up nicely on Tuesday ahead of the storm, and stay tepid through Wednesday. Mid 60s are likely. Showery weather is expected through the day on Wednesday. Not rain like this last storm, but showers. Less than a half inch, with the greatest amounts to our north. As the storm pushes through, temperatures will drop and rain taper. Thursday will be much like today, with a crisp morning and mild afternoon. High pressure will build in, bringing back some light north west winds along the coast. Clear through the rest of the week and weekend. No real warm up expected at this point, but we could see something develop by Sunday or next week. Next rain event is not in the near term. Maybe by mid month.
