Sunday Evening Punch.

Oh my goodness.  I spent today with the family at the car lot.  It needed to get done, but man, what a day to miss being out doors.  Absolutely stunning.  What a great week this has been.  It was 75F when I got home just before 4PM today.  Ah.  Love it here.  Anyway, all good things must come to pass.  The storm last week put down enough snow for a few resorts to open up for skiing this past week.  Snow was described as excellent spring sugar, or corn.  Dense base of a few feet.  Well, more is to come for above 7000 feet.  And that means rain for us.  Tomorrow, Saturday looks a bit like today, but cooler. Still hitting the low 70s though.  It will be a nice one.  Get outside.  With, perhaps, more clouds by evening.  But those do help the sunset.

NWS is calling for a chance of rain overnight, but GFS suggest it holds off until after noon on Sunday.  Regardless, rain should fill in during the day Sunday.  Right now it looks like we will get hit, and hit hard, late afternoon and evening.  Exact timing, as always, is hard to nail down.  With this rain comes a cold front.  It will only warm into the mid 60s on Sunday.  If that.  Windy too.  Rain is expected heaviest Sunday evening through the early morning hours of Monday.  Light rain may persist through the day Monday.  All told maybe 3/4" of rain here in town.  Monday will be in the low 60s.  And the cool air persists after that with temps rebounding only to maybe to the mid 60s.  With a little luck, Thursday could be warmer.  But more weather is on the horizon.

For now, expect less than a foot of snow on the ski resorts.  Some higher resorts on near the crest could get a foot.  Not a big storm, but more snow, and water for California.  It is nice to see a normal seasonal shift, even if this year I'd prefer it to stay dry for a few more weeks.
