STEVENS PASS MOUNTAIN WEATHER

1/6/2012 Weather

General Discussion: A high pressure ridge building over the mountains will confine the moisture to the coast today. We may see a weak snow shower or two but no accumulation is expected through the weekend. Warm SW air will also bring warm temperatures to the Pass for the weekend.

Long-term: A cold front will drop in Monday bringing snow to the mountains. After Monday, high pressure is expected to bring dry weather to the PNW for most of next week.
