MOUNTAIN WEATHER FORECAST

Time and Day: 0730 Tuesday

The Snapshot:  Dry and cloudy today.  Cold and dry weather with a potential valley inversion layer developing and persisting into the New Year.

The Science:  A low-pressure system tracking southeast into Oregon today will keep the skies mostly cloudy at Stevens Pass.  High pressure will strengthen over the PNW for clearing, cool, and dry weather developing for the upcoming weekend.  Cold air will continue to pour into the eastern basin through the next few days keeping surface temperatures low as well as producing a strong valley inversion layer.  The inversion layer should be low, and east enough to keep Stevens Pass mostly clear for the final days of the year. 

Long Range:  High pressure will dominate the weather pattern into early next week.  There are signs of the high pressure breaking down around Tuesday or Wednesday of next week.
