Discussion: The skiing is pretty darn good this morning. These moderate snow showers will become less frequent as the day progresses. A warm front arrives early tomorrow with more snow and rising freezing levels.
Long-term: A low pressure system tracking south from the Gulf of Alaska will spin bands of moisture (snow) into the Cascades Mountains for the rest of the week. The models have this system staying off shore and continuing south. This could equate to a relatively quiet weekend of weather ahead.
