The
Snapshot: Well
it is nice to see a little of the white stuff making it to the mountains. Clearing
today with sun this afternoon and tomorrow. Temperatures will struggle to make it into
the teens today with below 0 wind chill temps expected.
The
Science: The snow will be negligible as the cold front
tracking south along the coast enters the Oregon territory. Some weak systems
are now beginning to form imbedded in this cold unstable northerly flow. These minor
systems will provide just dustings of snow with little accumulation on Sunday
and Monday.
4-7day
Long Range: No significant moisture is expected to reach the mountains
until the middle of next week. Temperatures
will begin to warm toward the latter part of the weekend as the overall pattern
begins to slowly change. The next system
of interest will enter the scene during the middle of next week. Stay tuned.
