SPOT WEATHER FORECAST

11/10/2009 Weather Discussion: Nice sun breaks, beautiful wintery landscape. Waves of moisture will continue to pass through the PNW as more frontal systems slide down the BC coast. Long-term models show a series of storms continuing to slide down the Canadian coastline. Therefore, we can expect this pattern to continue for the extended period. There will be periods of dry and sunny weather between these systems. 24 hour forecast starting at noon on Tuesday Precipitation .25 + in. Water 3-6” in. Snow Temperatures Low 26 High 36 Winds 0-5 SW TRENDS AND TIMING Precipitation: The next wave of moisture will push through tonight bringing a few more inches of snow. Another break, similar to today, will occur tomorrow with another system moving through tomorrow night and yet another on Thursday/Friday. These systems are moving through quickly so not expecting huge amounts of accumulation, but we should keep building our snowpack. Freezing levels: Freezing levels will inch above 4000’ today and then drop to 3000’ for tomorrow. This pattern will continue as these fronts move through. These sun breaks will push surface temps up above freezing. Winds: Surface winds will be mild, out of the SW for the next few days. Not expecting any major wind issues for the remainder of the week.
