0715 Thursday:
The Snapshot: The rain and the wind will diminish today with partly clear condition
lasting through tomorrow; rain on the weekend.
The Science: .33” of water dropped on Stevens Pass during the
last 24hrs. A weak high-pressure ridge
building this morning will dry things up through tomorrow. The next storm system schedule to arrive early
Saturday morning is complex with two cut-off lows embedded in a sub-tropical
moisture stream. Therefore, the models
are having a hard time nailing down the details and timing. To complicate things even further, a cold
front tracking in from the NW will bring cold air aloft into the mix sometime
on Sunday with some snow possible on the back end of the system. The timing of the all this is still in
question so stay tuned.
Weekend storm water equivalents:
4am Saturday – 4am Sunday +1.”
4am Sunday – 4am Monday 5-.75.
2-4” of snow.
Long Range: Another high-pressure ridge begins
on Monday with a return to dry spring-like weather for most of the upcoming
week. Long-range models have also been fickle,
so trust in the forecast is low.
