Time and Day: 0600 Thursday
The Snapshot: The snow
is expected to taper to showers this morning with periods of mixed rain and
freezing rain through the day. Windy
with intermittent snow showers tonight through Saturday morning.
The Science: 4” of new snow on the 5 am telemetry with snow still falling. Hopefully, we will pick up a few more inches of snow before it
switches to mixed rain and snow showers later today. If it
does start raining, watch for freezing rain condition along the east slopes - careful
on the roads.
Strong southerly flow ahead of the approaching cold front will push the
cold air out to the eastern basin today.
Once the cold front moves past the mountains tonight, freezing levels will
drop to back to 4000’ with good westerly flow and snow showers persisting through
Saturday morning.
Long Range: Another warm front will arrive on Saturday and then
again Monday with heavy snow possibly changing to rain; timing and details on these systems to come later today.
Several more storms are lining up to impact the PNW
through all of next week.
