Rain chances are going up…

3-1-26. 3:15pm This Update is brought to you by Davy Ranch Supply. We have an extensive supply of fencing materials including barbed and netting wire, t-posts, cedar and treated posts, brace and twist pipe, staples, clips, and welded panels. We also stock 7 different types of medium and heavy-duty gates ranging in length from 4 ft-20 ft. We sell galvanized portable panels and 24 ft free-standing pipe panels, too. We have concrete and poly water troughs in various sizes along with a selection bunk and hay feeders. www.davyranchsupply.com

Hard to believe we are already in the month of March! While it will continue to feel more like April with highs in the 80’s, it’s great to see a potential end to our dry weather by the middle of the week, thanks to a couple of dying fronts, SW flow from the Pacific, and a cut off low over Baja. Rain chances enter the forecast by late on Tuesday, increase on Wednesday, wane a bit on Thursday and Friday, then increase dramatically over the weekend. As of today, most of the models are predicting 1-3 inches for most of us with a few pockets of 4-7 inch totals from the 5th-11th. As we get further into the week, we should be able to get a better idea of the actual totals, but this certainly smells like a real rain event!

Still no signs of a March arctic outbreak, but we could see some decent fronts move down around the middle of the month. The latest CPC outlook has temperatures returning to normal in its 8-14 day forecast…something we haven’t seen in a while!
