The Snapshot: Hum? What to write about today? High
cirrus clouds this morning with clearing tonight.
The Science: A weak system brushing the coast today has
produced these high clouds. There will
be less direct sunlight, which should equate to less solar impact to the snow
pack. The temperature inversion is
expected continue through this entire high pressure period. The high cirrus clouds will pass today with clearing
for the resort.
4-7day Long Range: The air mass will continue to be stable under strong high pressure
through all of next week. Strong inversion layers will continue especially on
the west side of the Mountains. No significant change is expected for the next 7-10
days.
