MOUNTAIN WEATHER FORECAST

Time and Day: 0700 Tuesday

The Snapshot:  A bit of morning fog this morning with dry weather expected for the rest of the week.  

The Science:  High pressure has stabilized the atmosphere over the state.  High clouds will move in later today in response to a weak system bumping up against the coast. Little to no precipitation is expected to make it to the interior.  

The Long Range:  The high pressure begins to shift east on Friday. Southerly flow aloft will allow the temperature to climb slowly through the week with freezing levels reach +6000’ or so.  So, at this point in the game, rain is on the docket for Friday night/Saturday.   

Precipitation Ending at 4am:

Today 24hr water = 0 Snow =0

Tomorrow’s 24hr water = 0  snow =0

Trend and Timing:
Dry through Friday.


24hr temperature ending at 4 am tomorrow: 
                                     
Low: 24  High: 32
Freezing level: +-4000’ – 5000.'

Trend and Timing:   
Freezing levels will be around 4000’ but with east flow influence holding temperatures low.   Freezing levels will ascend above 5000’ sometime tomorrow afternoon.  Expected melt/freeze temperature swing to continue through Thursday – for you weather/science geeks out there; that is a diurnal temperature pattern.   


 
24hr Winds (mph) ending at 4 am tomorrow:
Base: 5-10 E
Ridge Top: 5-10 E

Trend and Timing:
Gusty pass level easterly winds will be possible today.
