STEVENS PASS MOUNTAIN WEATHER

12/16/2011 Weather

General Discussion: Warm dry air will invade the Pass today as high pressure builds over the region. A weak cold front will bring a few more inches of snow on Sunday.

Long-term: These stubborn high pressure ridges will continue to push most of the storms north into Canada next week. The models completely disagree on the next 4-6 day outlook, so confidence is low on what to expect. As of now, there are no storms expected after Sunday’s cold front.
