STEVENS PASS MOUNTAIN WEATHER

12/10/2011 Weather

General Discussion: Clouds will thicken today as a weak system makes its way to the mountains. Another high pressure ridge will bring clear and cool conditions back tomorrow.

Long-term: Another weak system is expected to move through on Tuesday with high pressure building in behind it for another dry period. Our pattern is changing however, there is not a lot of energy associated with these approaching storms. So as of now, we will be lucky to pick up a few inches on Tuesday and then again later in the week.
