Spring Holds On.....

So it now looks as if my tube is going to have to sit on the shelf a bit longer. Since I posted at the biginning of the week it now appears that the cold front coming in this weekend is a bit stronger & faster than was previously thought.

Today will be the warmest day of the next 5 with temps in the mid 70's. Tomorrow night a cold front comes thru which will bring some rain showers, but the it should be mostly sunny for the weekend with temps in the 60's.

Temps will start to warm again next week into the 70's. The main ridge never really moves though & stays out near 150w. Actually looking at long-range models it stays there for a couple of weeks. This keeps a trough near the West Coast, which in the summer just means there is moisture around for thunderstorms to develop in the afternoons. Also it keeps temps from getting into the 80's. This pattern would be a dream in the winter. BA

What do you mean by "spring holds on?" I live inland of San Francisco, and it got to the mid 90s. I am guessing it got pretty hot on the mountain too, but maybe you were right. If so, I suggest that you come down from the mountain.

A little help for your home town of OC... will July and August be as wet as June in NJ ???

We actually hit 75 in Truckee yesterday. First time we broke 70 this month. I prefer mid-80's over mid-90's.

Tim,

You are already 372% of normal for the month with more of the same the next two weeks. Until the Bermuda High forms, you will be in the storm track.

If you want that, you get it. It was only one day that it broke 90. Come on, come down off the mountain. The snow season is over. You should come down for some nice temperatures.

How serious do you think the threat of rain or thunderstorms will be from mid July to mid August in the Truckee/North Tahoe area?

Adding to what Sally said, I am going up to TAHOE in August. It wouldn't be good if it snowed in one of our hikes. What are the likely hoods of snow at 8000 feet in August?
