0630 Sunday:
The Snapshot: Snow will slowly taper off today. Cold and dry weather begins tomorrow and last
through the middle of the week. Bundle
up tomorrow as brisk easterly winds develop. There is a chance for light snow
on Thursday/Friday.
The Science: 1.23” of water that produced 14” of snow during the
last 24hrs. Hopefully, another inch or two will be squeezed out before all the
left over moisture drifts south during the next 12-24hrs. High- pressure building off the southern BC
coast will pull cold arctic air in from the northeast tomorrow; this will
produce a few days’ of cold and clear weather.
Strong offshore flow will create stiff easterly pass level winds
tomorrow and Tuesday.
4-7day
Long Range: Long range models have the blocking ridge
weakening by the end of the week. This
may allow another disturbance to make its way in late Thursday for a little
more snow. The weekend appears dry at
the moment.
