Time and Day: 0600 Monday
The Snapshot: Snow showers today, clearing tonight, snow
tomorrow night, rain on Thursday.
The Science: Light
snow is falling at Stevens with the bulk of the energy being confined to the western slopes. An unstable atmosphere with westerly flow will keep snow showers likely
through the day with tonight and the first half of tomorrow being relatively
dry. A fast-moving
front will swing through tomorrow afternoon with another few inches of snow
possible.
The Long Range: A low-pressure system tracking up the western coast will bring
moderate to heavy snow Wednesday night.
At the moment, this appears to be a snow changing to rain event with freezing
levels peaking around 6000’ on Thursday.
Models disagree on the timing and strength of this storm, so more
reliable details to come.
There are signs in the long
range models of a shift to a more spring-like weather pattern developing over
the weekend.
