Time and Day: 0800 Wednesday
The Snapshot: Rain has begun to spread inland this morning,
it will taper off tomorrow with more rain and wind expected over the weekend.
The Science: A well organized low-pressure system spinning in
the North Pacific waters will push a series of frontal systems through the PNW Mountains
for the next several days. A weak upper-level
high-pressure ridge disrupts the flow tomorrow and Friday for a few days of relatively
dry weather. A cold front enters the
scene on Saturday with heavier rain and freezing levels dropping to around 6000’. Isobars tighten late Saturday so watch for
high ridge top winds through the night.
Long Range: Next week will
start with more rain and rising temperatures.
High pressure is expected to strengthen through the middle of next week
for a return to dry and sunny weather.
