I really could have used more 70s




Okay, if we're going to have all this sunshine, we might as well have some warm
weather to go with it. Yesterday was nice but today should be even nicer.



Nicer is relative, of course. More wind today, and lip-cracking lack of humidity
should result in high fire danger.




Enjoy it if and while you can, because first a cool then a cold front will make
short work of our nice spring preview.





Our attention is slowly getting drawn back to the lack of rainfall after our
good (albeit bad due to ice) storm of two weeks ago.




Rain chances should return this weekend, but right now, not a statewide
moisture provider.



Watch out drought intensification, here we come!
