Time and Day: Wednesday 0500
The Snapshot: There will be a
chance of some rain mixed in with the snow this morning, then turning to snow
showers later today. Light snow showers
with broken clouds tomorrow.
The Science: A pocket of warm air pushed by an approaching
cold front will briefly raise freezing levels this morning and then have them
fall back down in the wake of the front.
This morning’s radar has the precipitation already turning to broken showers
west of the mountains. Another frontal system will bring another round of snow
Thursday night into Friday morning.
The Long Range: This active storm cycle will
continue through the holiday weekend with significant snow accumulation
probable.
