Time and Day: 0930 Wednesday
The Snapshot: Snow
changing to rain today. Rain is expected
to continue through early Friday morning.
The Science: The approaching warm front slowed its approach
this morning, delaying the transition from snow to rain. That switch is still expected as warm
air filters into the mountains through the day.
Several fronts imbedded in the unstable westerly flow will keep the moisture
pumping through the region into Friday morning.
Freezing levels will stay above Pass level until early Friday morning. Therefore, expect most of the precipitation to
be rain with snow showers possible Friday morning.
4-7day Long Range: A short live high pressure ridge
passes over Friday night producing an ok Saturday. Another mixed rain and snow event is
scheduled for Saturday night into early Sunday morning.
