Temperatures begin to warm Wednesday with the next round of showers due in Friday night.
Plenty of blue sky between today's fluffy fair weather clouds. It is chilly though...and the breeze makes it seem cooler still. Keep that extra blanket on the bed...today and tonight should be the coolest of the week. We'll be lucky to make it up to 40 degrees today (normal is 46). Temperatures will drop into the frosty 20s again by morning....as the next system arrives it will be cold enough for snow....but it doesn't look like there's much moisture to be had...just enough for clouds. The bulk of the energy will dive to the south. The best chance of showers will be SE Washington, North central Idaho and the Panhandle Mountains (same areas as Monday but much less accumulation). A flurry or sprinkle is not out of the question but don't expect much more than that.
We're getting closer to spring...one of these in between seasons when conditions flip flop between extremes. Another sign of spring arrives Sunday. Don't forget to set your clocks ahead an hour as DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME BEGINS again. Pacific Daylight Time officially begins Sunday, March 14 at 2am....we lose an hour.
