Goofus says lowland snow Friday night into Saturday morning. However, Euro says otherwise, so probably not.

March 2019. It was in the 20s and we still had a snowpack from February on the ground here.

Models are converging on a bit of a backdoor shot of cool dry air next week. Still sunny and dry. But the mornings will be chilly if the wind is calm.

nah, a very dry spring is never followed by a very dry summer, so I would say that it won't be a smokey summer. You never know for sure though.

Last I heard the forests in Northern California are at near record dry levels. Already mid summer dryness levels. Their window for rainfall is already closing. We might get their smoke.
