The Snapshot: 3” unofficial of snow overnight. Windy with intermittent snow shower today, a
brief dry period tonight with snow tomorrow night.
The Science: Unstable westerly flow will produce gusty
winds and snow showers today. Some weak upper-level ridging will create a brief dry
period tonight. East flow re-develops and
clouds thicken tomorrow as the next system approaches.
The next strong storm front begins to affect
the region tomorrow afternoon with snow
and mixed rain falling through Sunday. At
the moment, freezing levels look to be favorable (-+4000) for mostly snow
through early Sunday morning. A period
of mixed rain will be possible Sunday,
but it should be short-lived.
Long
Range: Next week will start out
with snow changing to rain Monday – Wednesday.
Freezing levels could rise to 7000’ on Tuesday/ Wednesday with rain. Cooler NW flow with snow is beginning to show
