0630 Tuesday:
The Snapshot: Snow today and tomorrow; Thursday will be mostly dry with more precipitation
beginning on Friday.
The Science: The anticipated cold front passed the mountain
just after midnight. Moderate snow
showers, falling temperatures and gusty winds will fill in behind the front
today. Snow totals by tomorrow morning
will be determined by how strong and where the convergence zone decides to
point; at Stevens or south? Freezing
levels will fall to 3000’ tonight with daytime warming expected for the
remainder of the week.
Long Range: Thursday will
be mostly dry with some light snow showers lingering in the mountains. Another front enters the scene on Friday with
more snow through the weekend.
