Good Wednesday everyone. We are set to wrap up the month of March and it is going out like a lamb. That has pretty much been the case for the entire month as the lamb has owned the Lion for what has been a pretty decent weather month. This nice weather will carry us into the first several days of April as we get a little taste of of some summer warmth later this week.

Your weather headlines are fairly short and to the point and go a little something like this…

– Highs today will warm toward 70 under sunny skies.

– Thursday and Friday will find even warmer air moving in here. Thermometers warm to the upper 70s to around 80 for Thursday and top out in the 80-85 degree range on Friday! Now that is some wow warmth for so early in the year. Sunny skies will continue.

– Saturday looks to be another warm day with readings around 80 yet again. Clouds will be on the increase during the day and winds will crank ahead of a weak cold front that moves in by evening. A dying  line of showers and thunderstorms will work from west to east late Saturday into Saturday night. You can see that here on the GFS…

Saturday Afternoon

– The rains will quickly diminish by Easter Sunday as skies become partly sunny. Highs will be cooler than the previous days… but should still be on the mild side in the low 70s.

– Warmer air moves back in early next week before our pattern tries to go stormy for the middle and end of the week.

– Looking farther down the road toward the rest of spring and into summer… I am watching the possibility the waters in the equatorial Pacific Ocean cool significantly. The forecast models are suggesting we may go from an El Nino to a La Nina in just a matter of a few months. If that is the case… the prospects for a hot summer will be much higher. Stay tuned.

Have a great day and take care.
