Our warm up continues as temps increase to the 50s and near 60 again inland but will stay around 50 thanks to the classic spring sea breeze on Wednesday.
Thursday also brings more warmth inland, as highs reach the 60s for more inland towns, and 50s at the coast. By Friday we have slightly stronger winds off the water from the northeast and clouds so highs cool to the 40s.

With all of this dry and warm weather, our pollen count has increased this week as we near astronomical spring on March 19. Maple, juniper, and poplar are the main pollens in the air so it’s time to start taking those allergy medications. A moderate pollen count will be around through the week, until Friday when we have a chance for rain.
We also have increased wildfire danger with the strong sun and higher sun angle, which matches the sun angle in September. Buds are starting to appear on bushes and bulb flowers are popping up from the ground. True spring seems to be setting in, with no significant snowstorms on the horizon.
