HIGH PRESSURE PERSISTED FOR MUCH OF THE MONTH, LEADING TO MUCH LOWER
THAN AVERAGE PRECIPITATION. JUST A COUPLE WEAK STORM SYSTEMS AND
COASTAL DRIZZLE DROPPED 0.48 INCHES OF RAIN, MAKING 2026 THE SECOND
DRIEST MARCH ON RECORD AND SETTING EUREKA MUCH BELOW NORMAL FOR THE
WATER YEAR. HIGH PRESSURE ALSO ALLOWED FOR A SOMEWHAT WARMER AND
MUCH LESS CLOUDY THAN NORMAL MARCH. THOUGH HEATWAVES BROUGHT SOME
NEAR RECORD HIGHS TO THE INTERIOR, MARINE INFLUENCE KEPT THE COAST
MUCH CLOSER TO NORMAL TEMPERATURES.
