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.
