10:30am Thursday
The
Snapshot: All the living turkeys will enjoy a few more days of
warm sunny weather. It will not last for
long, change is in the air.
The
Science: Warmer
western air, pushed by the northern jet stream, will wash out the chilly air
trapped in the eastern basin today. This will rise freezing levels in the
mountains and enable the developing systems to enter the region. A warm front arriving early Saturday morning
will bring light rain with periods of mixed snow starting tomorrow night and
lasting through early Sunday morning.
The timing of the strong frontal system tracking in on
Sunday is still in question. As of now
it appears that this system could start out as heavy rain in the morning with
the rain changing to snow later in the day.
Heavy snow is expected Sunday night into Monday.
4-7day
Long Range: Snow with freezing levels below 500’ is likely to
persist into Monday. High pressure
developing on Tuesday will bring a return to the sun with very cold
temperatures. Long range models have
this dry cold period lasting through all of next week.
