General Discussion: A cold front will push more snow into the mountains today. Once the front passes, snow will taper to light showers for the remainder of the weekend.

Long-term: A ridge of high pressure will move over the PNW on Sunday and Monday bringing cool and dry weather. Another system is tracking toward the PNW on Tuesday.


TRENDS AND TIMING

Precipitation: The cold front is expected to pass over the Cascade Crest later this afternoon, once this happens, the snow will begin to taper to showers. Light snow showers will continue through the weekend.

Freezing levels: Freezing levels will hold around the 3000’ level for the next 24 hrs. Cooler air will move in from the north and drop freezing levels below 2000’ by Sunday.

Winds: SW flow will shift W in the wake of the cold front tonight.
