Time and Day: 0630 Friday
The Snapshot: The top snow stake officially hit 100” yesterday – 100”
party? Mixed snow and rain this
morning, dry tonight, snow tomorrow, dry with clearing Sunday and Monday.
The Science: A band of moisture, ahead of an approaching cold front, will pass through the mountains this
morning. Temperatures are still on the
mild side so expect a mixed bag of snow and rain. Once the front moves east of the mountains sometime
this afternoon, the snow will end and the temperatures will fall a bit. Tonight will be mostly dry with another system
lifting north tomorrow. Temperatures should be cool enough for
tomorrow’s moisture to be all snow.
The Long Range: Sunday, Monday and likely Tuesday will be mostly dry under building
high pressure.
