Mountain Weather Forecast - Time: 0930

This brisk east wind, pushing the inversion fog through the Pass this morning, is the first indicator of the approaching weather system. Another dry day is expected before a series of fronts begins to hit the PNW.

Long-term: The entire western seaboard is beginning to feel the effects from a massive low pressure system churning in the Pacific. For the PNW, this will spin a series of fronts through the Cascade Mountains starting tomorrow and lasting through the weekend. Freezing levels will bounce between 4000’ and 5000’ as these fronts come and go. Therefore, expect a mix of rain and snow here at the resort. Hopefully, with the easterly flow influence and good cold air aloft, we should receive more snow than rain.


Impressive system that covers most of the North Pacific.
