0630 Friday:
The Snapshot: I guess Stevens was lucky to avoid the wicked
weather that pounded the coast yesterday.
The resort received just .23” of water with relatively little wind. Light remnant showers will continue in the
mountains today with cooler and drier weather developing over the weekend. Watch for icy conditions as all this water
begins to freeze.
The Science: Pressure gradients have begun to weaken this morning;
this will bring an end to the major precipitation. Dry and clear weather starts tonight as high-pressure
builds over the region. The mountains will also cool as freezing
levels along the crest drop a thousand feet or so.
4-7day Long Range: The high-pressure
ridge will block or split any moisture trying to make its way to the mountain for
most of the upcoming week. A stronger
front arrives late next week which will be our next best chance for significant
snow.
