The
Snapshot: Dry today with thickening clouds. Light rain changing to snow tomorrow. A very active weather pattern is expected for
the next 7 days.
The
Science: The NW storm cycle
that we have waiting for is finally taking shape. The northern jet stream will track directly
over the PNW this week bringing along several systems. Freezing
levels will rise and fall around the 4500’ foot levels as these systems come
and go, so expect periods of rain and snow for most of the week.
4-7day
Long Range: These storms increase
in strength and moisture content as the week progresses. Stay tuned, we might finally start growing
the snow pack.
