Discussion: It was lovely to see the mountains all lit up by the morning sun. Radar shows a frontal band of moisture just off shore this morning. This system is expected to weaken and possible split as it moves inland and thus will not likely be a significant snow producer for the mountains.
Long-term: Two stronger storms are lining up to hit the PNW over the weekend, one Saturday night and then again on Sunday. The long range models show the jet stream shifting south next week. We will have to wait and see what this does to the general storm track, but it could lead systems south and away from the PNW. In the mean time, enjoy the snow this weekend and early next week.
