Time and Day: 0700 Thursday
The Snapshot: Snow showers today, dry with clearing tonight, mixed
rain and snow (mostly rain) tomorrow through the weekend.
The Science: The cold front that brought the snow last night
is well east of the Cascade Mountains and is now heading into the intermountain
west. Pressure will begin to rise today
as an upper level ridge builds to the south; this will bring and end to the
moisture with partial clearing tonight. The
next front hits the mountains tomorrow with the rain/snow game continuing through
the weekend. Due to the freezing levels
bouncing between 4500’ and 5500’ no significant snow accumulation is expected
with these next several storms.
The Long Range: Next week will start out mostly
dry with more wet weather and mild temperatures starting midweek.
