BEAUTIFUL LATE MARCH WEATHER ON TAP THIS WEEK, WITH THE POST FRONTAL
AIRMASS YIELDING PLEASANT AFTERNOON TEMPERATURES THROUGH WEDNESDAY,
WITH MORNING LOWS TRENDING UPWARDS THROUGH THE WEEK. WITH THE FRONT
THROUGH THE AREA, THE COOLER AND SIGNIFICANTLY DRIER AIR WILL HANG
AROUND FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS BEFORE RETURN FLOW BEGINS ON WEDNESDAY
AND THEN STRENGTHENS ON THURSDAY.
NBM DROPPED THE RAIN CHANCES FOR TOMORROW NIGHT, VIRGA IS THE MOST
LIKELY SOLUTION AS THE DRY LOW LEVEL AIRMASS EATS AT ANY ATTEMPTED
PRECIPITATION. THURSDAY IS LIKELY THE WARMEST DAY OF THE WORK WEEK
WITH BREEZY CONDITIONS. ANOTHER WEAK COLD FRONT TO PASS ON
FRIDAY, WITH LIGHT RAIN AGAIN POSSIBLE. BEHIND THE FRONT HEADING
INTO THE WEEKEND IS ANOTHER BOUT OF MILD AND DRY, WITH COOL
TEMPERATURES IN THE MORNING. AS WE HEAD DEEPER INTO SPRING WITH
CONTINUED FLOWERING, BE WARY OF MORNING FROST/FREEZE CONDITIONS.
