Showers winding down in the Metro as I write this at 5:46 in the a.m. Still snowing in the surrounding mountains and as low as Oracle. Sorry Vail and Saddlebrooke, looks like you missed out on the snow showers although I suppose it could still happen briefly in the next hour or two. The airport picked up .17″ so far and that will likely be the total for this last day of February. That brings us to 1.93″ for the month and 1.95″ for the year. That’s .16″ above average for the year to date. We’ll take it! Thank you February for reversing our Winter precipitation fortunes.

The storm exits stage east today with clearing skies and a high near 55ish. Dry enough by tonight with clear skies that tomorrow morning’s low will be near freezing. You may want to consider letting the teenagers crash inside tonight. Maybe.

Warming up with sunshine tomorrow as March comes in like a lamb. High in the upper 60s to near 70, just a degree or two below average for this time of year.

Sunny and warmer Friday mid 70s. Low 70s Saturday. Mid 60s Sunday. Near 70 Monday. Mid 70s Tuesday. Enjoy!
