Only a tiny area in the far northern end of the state and a small area in the far southern end of the state are listed as Abnormally Dry. The rest of the state is normal, or above normal surface water content. Wow. This winter has been a huge turn around. Don't start going showering the yard in water, washing the car and otherwise pouring it down the drain. We are just basically returning to normal. It was a nice consistent six weeks of rain. Never a tremendous amount al at once. And while we saw issues with the roads and mud slides, it could have been much worse. We faired well with a return to a regular rainy winter. And it is not over yet. We are just enjoying a respite.
It does not looks like we will see another long period of regular moderate rainfall like we enjoyed earlier this winter. Still, we must remain prepared for another period of otherwise active weather. First, though, we get to enjoy the best weekend yet of 2019. Sun and warmth are the name of the game. Today was pretty damn beautiful. Decent surf, light winds and temps across the west side in the upper 60s and low 70s. The Wharf recorded 66F this afternoon. Pretty sweet. Low tide in the afternoon and the sand bar at Cowells is fat. Get out and enjoy a sweet beach day. We should be out Sunday afternoon. Weather stays nice through Monday, and in fact, Monday might be the nicest one.
A storm is going to try to undercut the high pressure Tuesday or Wednesday of next week. It will weaken or possibly split as it approaches. As it is now, we have a chance for light to moderate rain for the middle of next week. This system will beat down the door, so to speak, weakening the high pressure ahead of the next storm. The second system is forecast to arrive Friday or Saturday. This one is likely going to be a little stronger, but not a super heavy hitter. We will need to watch these systems next week and see how they approach our region. For now, I hope you plans to get outside this weekend. It is going to be pretty awesome.
