Head Shaking.

So, we ended up with about an inch and quarter at King and Van Ness. Other gauges on the west side were a bit less (.91" on Western), but we got a fair amount of rain over theist two days.  The storm has moved onshore, and the cold front passed.  Moderate snow and low elevation rain is falling in the Sierra.  Up until this afternoon, it was pretty warm storm, but it is now snowing at Lake Level.  And we are looking to dry out over the next two days.  We could see a shower tonight.  Or two. Lows in the mid 40s.  Clouds.  Still cloudy in the morning, and a very slight chance of a very light shower.  It will remain cool, in the low to mid 50s.  But that nice high pressure I've been promising you... its going to take a few more days to arrive.

Latest guidance for the storm this weekend is for it to stay off shore.  But not all the way.  And that won't happen until Saturday.  Thursday night will be cold, as the clouds clear out and temps drop to the low 40s. Some valleys might drop into the upper 30s.  And this is March folks.  Anyway, Friday looks awesome. Some sunshine.  Some solar radiation masking as warmth.  Highs in the low to mid 50s.  Did I mention that little bit of sunshine.  So excited.

I'll look at things tomorrow and get into a little more detail, but that storm that was supposed to stay of the coast is not cooperating.  Right now Saturday looks like Friday, but rain could push ashore as early as the afternoon.  The rain will be light and mostly a drizzle, but rain none the less.  The center of the storm moves south, off the coast, before falling apart and sweeping inland into the southwest.  We see a break on Monday.  Remember that storm that was to stay to our north next week.  The GFS is now bullish on it diving south far enough to bring us some rain next Tuesday and/or Wednesday.  But it is late winter folks, and models can be quirky this time of year.  Let's wait until later in this weekend to really forecast next week.  Regardless, it looks to remain cool through the period, with highs in the 50s and lows in the 40s.  Winter has been a real bugger this year.  But at least we have our water back on the ground and fat fat snow pack up in the mountains.
