4/4/2012 Weather
General Discussion: Weak pressure gradients along with cool NW flow will keep the threat of light snow showers with periods of sun in the forecast for the remainder of the week.
Long-term: A low pressure system is expected to develop off the western coast over the weekend. This is expected to stay off shore, so moisture is not much of a concern for the mountains. What this will likely do is draw up warm air from the interior south, which will allow temperatures rise. We could see the warmest temperature of the year by early next week. Unstable convection could also bring thunderstorms into the discussion.
