MOUNTAIN WEATHER FORECAST

Time and Day: 0930 Friday

The Snapshot:  Abundant sunshine and warmer through the weekend.  Hope for some snow next week.


The Science:  A warmer air mass will move up from the southwest resulting in higher daytime temperatures for the weekend.  A shift from easterly flow to westerly flow and warmer temperatures should scourer out the inversion layers trapped in the valley on both sides of the crest.   


4-7day Long Range:  The long range models are starting to agree on a pattern change starting early next week.  The large cold air mass sinking into Montana will provide cooler air for eastern Washington; this should help with lowering freezing levels for the incoming moisture.  So for now, expect snow around the middle of next week.
