Do you feel winter in the air?

Pretty chilly out there these days.  Today should be a touch warmer than it has been, but not much.  The weekend looks like we will be mostly back in the 60s at the coast, and in the 30s at 8000 feet.  It will be even cooler by early next work week.  With a series of rain storms lined up and taking aim at NorCal.  While the bullseye with these systems will remain north of us, it does look like a cold rain, is gonna fall.  Not just yet though.  Today the sunshine should be abundant.  It is currently in the mid 60s, but the forecast is for an afternoon high of just about 70F.  Will see if things warm up.

This was early March.  More could be on the way.

The weekend will start decent, with sun and upper 60s on Saturday.  By Sunday we see an increasing chance of rain, and cooler weather.  While it is likely to be in the 60s, I would not be shocked if we stay in the upper 50s.  It will certainly feel cool, with rain likely in the north bay and good chances for Santa Cruz.  Not much.  Perhaps a tenth of an inch or two.  Still, anything is welcome.  We will see some semi-clearing, and semi-warming on Monday.  By Tuesday, a colder, and more wide spread system will impact the state.  We could see upward of a half inch of rain from this thing.  And temps will struggle to reach into the 60s.  I will watch this thing and report more as we get closer.  Fingers crossed, as right now it looks good for rain to fall across most of the state.  We should see at least a few days of rebound starting on Thursday, with another system possible beyond.  Could be that winter has arrived.  Stay tuned.
