'Yikes': Bay Area Heat Lingers, Sierra Nevada Snowpack Melting Fast | KQED
""Yikes," Swain said. "There will be no meaningful snowpack left in Northern California by April 1.""
""Models are in agreement that rain will, in fact, return at the beginning of April," Kennedy wrote."
""It's going to still be that summer-like pattern," Rogacheski said."
""Last week's heat wave set all-time high March temperatures across the Bay Area - including 90 degrees in San Francisco on Friday, topping a 150-year-old record.""
California is experiencing unseasonable heat, with temperatures remaining high and threatening to melt the state's snowpack. As of Monday, the snowpack is at only 29% of normal for April 1, with the northern region at just 11%. A weak cold front may bring a slight temperature drop, but overall heat is expected to persist. There is a possibility of rain returning in early April, which could provide some relief as the rainy season ends. Last week's heat wave set record high temperatures across the Bay Area.
