The Snapshot: Cooler with snow showers
today. Drying trend begins tomorrow.
The Science: The low pressure system that brought us this nice
snow will weaken and drift east today leaving moderate to heavy snow showers in
its wake. The snow will slowly taper off
tomorrow afternoon as high pressure builds off the western coast.
4-7day Long Range: The weekend will trend dry under cool northwesterly flow. There will be a
chance for occasional light snow showers passing through from time to time. This pattern will persist into the coming
week.
