0630 Wednesday:
The Snapshot: Snow showers today, light snow with sun breaks
tomorrow and Friday, snow over the weekend, dry and clear next week.
The Science: The rain turned to snow around 10pm last night with
7” of new snow so far this morning.
Intermittent snow showers will linger along the Cascade Crest through tomorrow
due to cool unstable NW flow. Pressure
gradients weaken tonight producing some partial clearing with light snow showers
tomorrow and Friday.
4-7day
Long Range: A low-pressure system tracking
south along the coastal mountains of BC will bring some measurable snow to the
Cascades over the weekend. Let’s hope we
get a good foot over the weekend because a large high-pressure system is developing
along the entire western seaboard starting on Monday. This will produce dry and clear weather possibly
lasting into the New Year. There is a cool airmass accompanying this
pattern that will help preserve the snow pack.
Precipitation ending at 4am:
Today’s 24hr Water
