Today's temperatures have reached into the 60s - again! Believe it or not, we also saw temperatures in the 60s yesterday. This marks the third time this spring we've seen consecutive 60-degree days.

Combine our warming temperatures with some sunshine, budding trees, and pink flowers, and it may be feeling like spring. But temperatures may not stay so nice.

The Climate Prediction Center - a government forecast agency - issues three-month outlooks. And their outlook for the Pacific Northwest is a cool one. In fact, for the three-month period of March through May, the CPC says temperatures will likely be below average. It seems La Nina isn't done playing with our weather just quite yet.

So how chilly will it be? Well - that's why this is an outlook! =) It just gives an idea of the general trend to come over the next several months. The exact details - like how cool it will be and when - are left to guys and gails like me to figure out.

I'll keep you posted! Personally, I'm hoping the outlook is wrong...and that it actually ends up being warmer-than-average this spring. =)
