0700 Monday:
The Snapshot: Don’t put those skis away just yet. Light intermittent rain showers with
sun breaks today, snow tomorrow and Wednesday, dry on Thursday with more snow
for the weekend.
The Science: The first
official week of April will be active in the weather department. A strong cold front will push a good dose of
moisture with falling temperature into the mountains starting early tomorrow
morning. Nice winter-like features such
as NW flow and convergence zone activity is showing up on the models. Moderate to heavy snow can be expected
tomorrow with up to 10” possible. Snow
turns to intermittent showers in the wake of the front on Wednesday. Thursday will be a dry interim day before other
cold frontal system sets up to enter the PNW.
Note: With such high temperatures today and cold unstable air rapidly
mixing in, the chance of thunderstorms (lightening) development will be likely.
Long Range: Another cold
front is expected to bring more snow on Friday.
It is a bit far out to be confident on how much snow will on the ground
by Saturday morning, but it is looking promising. Stay Tuned.
