THE WEATHER

2/27/2008 Weather Discussion: Our on-again-off-again pattern will continue for the remainder of the week. High pressure will once again build over the PNW slowly drying up the atmosphere for tomorrow and most of Friday. Long-term models show a more organized system arriving sometime late Friday. This seems to be gaining energy – This could be a good snow producer for the weekend. Forecast from Wednesday 4pm to Thursday 4am Precipitation 10th in. Water trace in. Snow Temperatures Low 30 High 34 Winds 5-15 W Forecast for Thursday 4am to 4pm Precipitation 0 in. Water 0 in. Snow Temperatures Low 30 High 38 Winds 0-5 S TRENDS AND TIMING Precipitation: These light mountain rain/snow showers will slowly taper off in the next 24 hours - should be mostly dry for Thursday and Friday. Next chance of moisture will be after 4pm Friday. Freezing levels: Freezing levels will stick around the 4000’ mark until tomorrow afternoon. Freezing levels are then expected to sneak up to 5k or even 6k tomorrow night and remain there until Friday nights cold front arrives.
