And It Gets Even Better.

Well it now looks like that storm coming into California on Tuesday is going to stay well north and east of the Bay Area.  That mean north west winds will continue into mid week, and the sun will be out.  It was crisp this morning.  It was 38F this morning at 7AM.  The Van Ness and King thermometer recorded a high of 74.7F at 5PM.  I am sure that was in the sun, but it was warm out there today.

Still expecting a cold front hitting us tomorrow, perhaps keeping us in the upper 50s.  We rebound into the low 60s for the rest the rest of the work week, and will see a significant warming trend over the weekend.  Still expecting low 70s for Sunday and the start of next week.  Not just at a sunny spot on the west side, but across town.  And maybe even up to the water's edge.  It was gorgeous today, and it will be gorgeous all week.

There are signs in the long range forecast that storms will try to break down this high pressure in about a week's time.  It does not look like winter is quite over, but we do have a nice respite to enjoy. Too far out right now to say with certainty when rain will return, but I'll be keeping an eye on the model runs and report when they are within 5 days.

Nearly 90% of the state is completely out of drought, with about 10% Abnormally Dry, and only .6% still listed as Moderate Drought.  We have made strides.  This is from last Tuesday, so does not include rain from the middle of last week.  The bigger change was in the northern portion of the state with this report, but one of the storms last week hit the south pretty good.  It is possible that by this week's report, we could see further advances.
