Time and Day: 0100 Wednesday
The
Snapshot: Unfortunately, the main bulk of today’s moisture tracked
south of Stevens Pass. Snow will taper
off today with dropping temperatures.
Tomorrow will be cold and dry. Then
things get interesting.
The
Science: The
cold front has moved into eastern Washington; thus the precipitation will dry
up in the next few hours and cold air will move in from the north. Tomorrow will be an uneventful transitional
day before the next system prepares to arrive.
Storm
details: A strong warm front is expected to hit the coast
early Friday morning. Models currently
have enough cold air remaining to keep freezing’s levels just below 4000’. If this holds true, snow accumulations by
Saturday morning could between 1 and 2’.
4-7day
Long Range: The
warm air mass is expected to move east during the weekend. Thus, a potential rain event cannot be ruled
out on Saturday/ Sunday. Strong westerly
flow will keep the chance of precipitation in the forecast through most of next
week.
