Discussion

High pressure to our north expanded into the region on Sunday following the departure of the storm system that produced lots of rainfall around here on Saturday. This high pressure system will control the weather today, but then an approaching frontal system will bring us the chance of showers by mid-week.

On another note, the moon peaked as full earlier today setting the stage for it to reach its new moon phase in two weeks. This next new moon phase will allow for the conditions needed for the solar eclipse on Monday, April 8th, when the moon will be in between the sun and earth and thus block the face of the sun from view.
