The
Snapshot: Rain turning to snow today; snow showers persisting
in the mountains through the night. A drying
and clearing trend begins tomorrow and continues through the end of the year.
The
Science: A cold front pushing
a bunch of moisture ahead of it will sail through the region today. Temperatures will drop, and precipitation will
taper off in the wake of the front. A convergence zone will develop behind the front
which will help keep snow showers falling into the night.
4-7day
Long Range: Starting on Christmas day, high pressure will begin
to dominate the weather pattern. Warm, dry
and sunny weather will likely be the norm through New Year’s Day. A low
level inversion layer will likely develop as the week progresses.
