SPOT WEATHER FORECAST FOR STEVENS PASS

12/8/2008 Weather Discussion: Today will be dry as high pressure builds over the mountains. The center of the high is expected to drift south tomorrow, this could allow a similar event as yesterday, hopefully bringing some more snow to the mountains. Long-term models shows Thursday and Friday as dry with a slow change to a much cooler pattern by the weekend. This is a bit far out to have much confident in the timing but for now there is hope for snow late Friday/Saturday… Forecast from Monday 4pm to Tuesday 4am Precipitation 0 in. Water 0 in.
