MOUNTAIN WEATHER FORECAST

0700 Wednesday:

The Snapshot:  Intermittent rain showers today with another round of heavy rain tomorrow; cooler and drier by the weekend.  

The Science: An upper-level ridge has brought an end to the main water tap with only intermittent rain showers left over.  The next front arrives tomorrow morning with another fetch of warm moisture in tow.  An additional 2-4” of rain will be possible.  Freezing levels will remain high through mid day on Friday.   

4-7day Long Range:  High-pressure developing in southern Canada will bring a pattern change starting on Friday.  Cold air will flow into the PNW from the north over the weekend.  Low temperatures will likely cover everything in ice.  A warm front (Monday ish) lifting up from the south is starting to enter the scene.  Hopefully, this will mix well with the cold air and be our next best chance for snow.
