Time and Day: 0600 Christmas Day
The Snapshot: Light snow showers
are ending today, dry tonight and tomorrow. A pattern change is in the works for generally
drier weather for the last week of 2015.
The Science: That amazing storm cycle dumped close to 200”
of snow, built a 72” base on the lower mountain and left 90” on the upper
mountain – not a bad start to the season.
The storms will end today as a high-pressure ridge building off of the NW
coast drifts east. Therefore, dry and cold weather will begin today and last
through most of the weekend. A system approaches
on Sunday afternoon but will likely split apart as it reaches the
mountains.
Long
Range: High pressure rebuilds
on Monday, a few weak systems move through on Wednesday with mostly dry and warmer weather greeting the New Year.
