DAYS 1-5 (MARCH 27-31)
\nA chilly start, a warm-up, and a quick chill-down during these final 5 days of March. High pressure controls the weather to start this period, being overhead today which starts cold but feels reasonably comfortable by later morning on with strong late March sun and light wind. As high pressure slips to the south, a warm-up begins Thursday and nearly gets thwarted Friday as a cold front moves into the region, but this front does not have a lot of push with it and will basically run out of gas and then be pushed back to the north later Friday. The maximum part of the warm-up will be Saturday when we’re in the strongest southwesterly flow, but this wind will keep the South Coast cool as the air will be coming right off the chilly ocean. The timing of a cold front approaching from the west is key for Sunday’s weather and temperature, with guidance ranging from early day to late day on the front’s timing. Been leaning later the last few days and will continue to do this for now.

DAYS 6-10 (APRIL 1-5)
\nA much cooler start to April. The wildcard is whether or not there will be any storminess or it will be largely dry. Need to watch a wave of low pressure to the south that may evolve into an ocean storm south to southeast of the region. Whether or not it gets close enough to bring rain and possibly mix\/snow remains to be seen. If that system is far enough offshore, we may warm up right at the end of the period.<\/p>\n
DAYS 11-15 (APRIL 6-10)
\nWe’ll be near a boundary, so neither the weather nor the temperature forecast can be made with high confidence at this point. Leaning toward the cooler side of normal for temperatures with a couple precipitation threats. Even though the upper air pattern looks warmer, the surface pattern says “eh, not so much” with wind from cooler north and east more often than milder south and west.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
