Warm and Dry Weather Continues with Chance of ShowersA few showers move in Thursday night into Friday morning, with another wave Friday late day, and then returning on St. Patrick's Day. Our pleasant warm up this week kicks in Tuesday as our gusty wind subsides a bit. We will still have some gusts around 30-40 mph in higher terrain, but not as high as Monday. Because of the dominant westerly winds we won’t see sea breezes along the coast so temps there also warm up. Highs reach the 50s with full sunshine. With all this dry and warm weather our pollen count increases this week as we near astronomical spring on March 19. Maple, juniper, and poplar are the main pollens in the air so it’s time to start taking those allergy medications. A moderate pollen count will be around through the week, until Friday when we have a chance for rain. Back to our warm up, temps Wednesday increase to the 50s and near 60 again inland but will stay around 50 thanks to the classic spring sea breeze. Thursday also brings more warmth inland as highs reach the 60s for more inland towns, 50s at the coast
