Time and Day: 0600 Saturday
The Snapshot: Decreasing wind and precipitation today,
warmer and dry tomorrow. Warm, clear
and dry weather is developing for the start of the new week.
The Science: Well last night’s storm didn’t pan out as expected
with just 3” of snow and .44” of water overnight. The radar has widespread showers moving
through the State with the weakened front heading into the Intermountain West. The moisture will slowly taper off through the
day as high pressure lifts up from the south.
The Long Range: Tomorrow will mark the beginning of a significant warming trend for the
PNW; daytime temperatures could exceed 500f on Monday and Tuesday. The
week will also start out dry with clearing as high
pressure strengthens and continues tracking north. Long-range models are struggling with what
happens after Wednesday; some have rain, others have the dry and warm
conditions lasting through Friday. Time
will tell.
