Stevens Pass Spot Weather Forecast

12/3/2008 Weather Discussion: Building high pressure will bring dry weather to the PNW well into the weekend. Temperatures will also begin to rise as warm air moves in from the south on Friday. Long-term models show the first signs of change towards the end of the weekend. The northern jet begins to slide south which could set up some winter storms sometime next week. Keep your fingers crossed and do the snow dance... Forecast from Wednesday 4pm to Thursday 4am Precipitation 0 in. Water 0 in. Snow Temperatures Low 24 High 30 Winds 0-5 E Forecast for Thursday 4am to 4pm Precipitation 0 in. Water 0 in. Snow Temperatures Low 22 High 30 Winds 5-10 E TRENDS AND TIMING Precipitation: The atmosphere is quickly drying and stabilizing which will bring an end to any lingering moisture. No precipitation expected until the weekend. Freezing levels: The surface temps will be interesting. Cold NE air flowing in from Canada will battle with the warm advection happening to our west – a good recipe for an inversion cloud layer. Freezing levels should trend up from 2500’ to 6000’ by Friday, then even higher for the weekend. Winds: East/offshore flow is currently developing and should strengthen through the night. A SW warm front should overtake the east flow on Friday.
