Time and Day: 0700 Saturday
The Snapshot: Breezy,
cooler temperatures with light passing rain showers and sun break today; mixed rain and snow
tonight with a drying trend beginning tomorrow.
The Science: Satellite
imagery shows spotty showers with patchy
clouds over the Cascades this morning.
Some upper-level ridging will provide
some clear periods between the showers for most of today. This
ridging will also play a part in keeping
the bulk of the moisture west of the crest tomorrow. Therefore, expect the weekend to have a mixed
bag of sun, rain, and snow. Fitting for the final weekend of the season.
The Long Range: Next
week will be mostly dry with cooler temperatures.
P.S. This will be the last
official Mountain Weather Forecast for the season. Have a great summer everyone.
