STEVENS PASS MOUNTAIN WEATHER

11/16/2010 Weather


24 HOUR SNAP SHOT: Starting at NOON today.
lt .25 - 1-3" of snow
Freezing Levels - 3500-4500' steady
Winds - 0-10 WSW
General Discussion: Whew, what a storm. 117mph wind gust were recorded at the top of Tye Mill last night. The lift maintenance crew and saw crew are hard at work cleaning up all the trees that fell.

There will be a lull in the action this evening before the next system slides in place tomorrow. More snow on the way.

Long-term: Things will begin to quiet down on Friday as the low pressure cell drifts south. There is nothing of note behind this next system so the weekend looks dry and cool. There are signs of some NW flow developing during the first part of next week - something to keep and eye on.

TRENDS AND TIMING
Precipitation: Snow will taper to showers this afternoon. Tonight will be relatively quiet. The next push of moisture will arrive mid morning tomorrow. Water/snow totals for tomorrow’s system are currently calculating out to be .75-1 or 6-12” of snow - that might be a bit high; I will have a better fix on those details with tonight’s model runs.

Freezing levels: Freezing levels will fluctuate between 3500' and 4500’ through most of tomorrow. An overall cooling trend will occur as the week progresses.

Winds: The winds will taper this afternoon as they shift WSW overnight. jdm
