SPOT WEATHER FORECAST

2/2/2010 Weather

Short term: If it’s not going to snow, it might as well be like this – nice to see the sun and the mountains. Today should remain mild and dry. A low pressure system out there in the big lake will spin series of weak snow shower through the state tomorrow.

Long-term: This pattern of weak systems separated by dry periods will continue through the week. Our El Nino friend will once again pull the northern Jet south into California, this will keep the PNW relatively dry for the extended period.
