Back to sunshine, the weather is fair through the weekend, until rain Monday. Drought is starting to become significant with a growing deficit since last July could become critical as we enter the growing season. This March is off to the driest start on record, and the entire area is under abnormally dry or drought conditions. Monday a system looks to bring widespread rain, and possibly some snow mixing in, but more than a half inch of precipitation is questionable, anything helps.
