THE WEATHER

1/16/2008 Weather Discussion: High pressures will keep a dry weather pattern over the PNW for the remainder of the week. There is some moisture passing to our north, which could bring us a light snow shower or two. Cool nights and warm days will be the temperature regime for the next few days. Long-term models show a weak system sliding down from the north on Saturday. This may bring some snow and cooler temps to the mountains. A cool and dry air mass is expected to move in from Canada on Sunday. Forecast from Wednesday 4pm to Thursday 4am Precipitation 0 in. Water 0 in. Snow Temperatures Low 12 High 20 Winds 0-10 N/NW Forecast for Thursday 4am to 4pm Precipitation 0 in. Water 0 in. Snow Temperatures Low 16 High 24 Winds 0-10 NE TRENDS AND TIMING Precipitation: No moisture expected until Saturday. Morning fog burning off to broken daytime clouds will be the pattern for a few days. Freezing levels: Freezing levels will slowly rise to near pass level by Friday. However, daytime temps will take a while to recover from cold nighttime temps but the days should be progressively warmer through Saturday. Temps will then lower Sunday and Monday. Winds: A north-northeast flow should remain in place for a few days. This will help keep surface temp low along with cold nighttime temps.
