DAYS 1-5 (MARCH 1-5)
Hello March! Definitely not stormy or windy enough to be coming in like a lion, so we’ll call it a restless lamb with 2 clipper lows to visit us in the first 60 hours of the month, one passing by tonight and another Wednesday night. Both low centers likely track far enough north so precipitation is limited and enough mild air is involved for more rain than snow, but some areas, especially away from the South Coast, can see some snow from each. The worst would be minor accumulation and temporary slick spots each evening, so be on the look-out for that. Cold high pressure moves in Thursday through Friday then tries to hang on Saturday, but by then we’ll be seeing clouds move back in ahead of an approaching warm front.
TODAY: Mostly cloudy. Highs 35-42. Wind W 5-15 MPH.
TUESDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy with a chance of snow/mix/rain showers trending to mostly rain showers. Minor snow accumulation possible interior areas especially away from South Coast Lows 28-34 evening may rise overnight. Wind S 5-15 MPH.
WEDNESDAY: Variably cloudy. Highs 37-44. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.
WEDNESDAY NIGHT: Cloudy with snow/mix/rain showers likely. Lows 29-36. Wind variable 5-15 MPH.
THURSDAY: Sun/cloud mix. Highs 32-39. Wind NW 10-20 MPH.
THURSDAY NIGHT: Clear. Lows 15-22. Wind NW 5-15 MPH.
FRIDAY: Sunny. Highs 32-39. Wind variable up to 10 MPH.
FRIDAY NIGHT: Clear. Lows 12-19. Wind calm.
SATURDAY: Increasing clouds. Highs 35-42. Wind SE up to 10 MPH.
DAYS 6-10 (MARCH 6-10)
Unsettled weather with a variety of precipitation possible and a possible complex temperature profile during March 6-8 (lots to sort out here), then dry/chilly weather toward the end of the period.
DAYS 11-15 (MARCH 11-15)
Temperatures near to below normal. Additional unsettled weather as we likely sit near a battle zone between cold to north and mild to south.
