Two Potential "Freeze Fronts" and 1-2 inches of Rain Coming...

An upper low and some cooler air are working their way southeastward this morning after dropping several inches of snow in the mountains of Colorado last night. It's a little unusual to see upper level storms coming in from the north this time of the year...most of them tend to come in from the west. As this one gets closer, look for our atmosphere to become increasingly unstable with showers and a few small thunderstorms forming overnight and on Tuesday. We should see some 1-2 inch rains out of this slow moving system.

After this system exits, we should have more fantastic Spring weather on tap for the rest of the week, until a very strong cold front moves in on Saturday, which humorously is the first day of Spring (vernal equinox). This will be the first of two potential "freeze fronts" and the reason I have been recommending not to plant any tropical foliage until after the first week of April unless you can cover it. At this point of the week, I'm giving this front an LCFS rating of 768. About a week later, we will see the last of the potential "freeze fronts". Hopefully, then it will be safe to head to the nursery!
