SPOT WEATHER FORECAST

Wish there was better news. 2/12/2009 Weather Discussion: A low-pressures system will track just off the western coast toady bringing high clouds but no moisture to the Cascade Mountains. Hopefully, this inversion layer will burn off for some sun breaks today. Long-term models show this pattern continuing through the next 6-10 days. We could get some weak bands of “spin off” moisture but it should not be much. Forecast from Thursday 4pm to Friday 4am Precipitation 0 in. Water 0 in. Snow Temperatures Low 14 High 20 Winds 5-10 E Forecast for Friday 4am to 4pm Precipitation 0 in. Water 0 in. Snow Temperatures Low 14 High 20 Winds 5-10 E TRENDS AND TIMING Precipitation: No significant moisture expected through the holiday weekend. Could see a flurry or two as these systems pass by – but that will be about it. Freezing levels: Surface temperatures will remain low with the help of cooler air being pulled in from the east. Freezing levels will stick between 2000’ and 3000’ through the weekend. Winds: East flow will strengthen today and stay entrenched through the weekend. Could see some gusty periods as those systems slide by the NW coast and enhance the east west gradient.
