MOUNTAIN WEATHER FORECAST

Time and Day: 0700 Thursday

The Snapshot:  Dry with clearing.

The Science:  The atmosphere will stabilize today under rising pressure.  Therefore, the PNW will move into a dry and mostly clear weather pattern through the weekend.  Cool east flow will keep surface temperatures at or below 320f for the next few days.  Morning fog will also be common at Pass level. 

Long Range: A weak cold front descends along the BC coast early next week with a chance of some snow for the Cascade Mountains; this system is not particularly potent, so no significant snow is expected at this time.  Long range models also have cold arctic air flowing out of the Frazer River Valley next week; this could drop surface temperatures into the low teens or even single digits on Thanksgiving Day.


Precipitation ending at 4 am:

Today’s 24hr Water = .10    Snow = trace

Tomorrow’s 24hr Water =  0 Snow =  0

Trend and Timing:
The few light snow showers this morning will end later today.  Dry through the weekend.


24hr temperature ending at 4 am tomorrow: 
Low: 22   High: 28
Freezing level: +-3000’

Trends and Timing:
Surface temperatures will stabilize in the mid 20’s through Saturday morning.  Clear early morning conditions could allow low temperatures to drop into the upper teens.
