THE WEATHER

2/1/2008 Weather Discussion: Snow is expected to slowly taper to a showery pattern through the night. Tomorrow’s system seems to be drifting south; therefore, the weekend is looking relatively quiet as far as snow accumulation. Cool temps will remain in our favor. Long-term models show intermittent snow showers lingering in the mountains through Monday. The northern jet still has it NW flow pattern and thus the threat of continued systems driving into the PNW for the coming week is good. Forecast from Friday 4pm to Saturday 4am Precipitation .25 in.
