MOUNTAIN WEATHER FORECAST

Time and Day:  0800 Thursday

The Snapshot:  Clouds roll in today with a chance of light rain and possibly a thunderstorm or two.  Cooler with rain starting tomorrow and lasting through the weekend.  

The Science:  Surface temperatures peaked around 650 yesterday and should climb into the 600 again today.   A cold unstable air mass begins to push in tomorrow with rain showers developing through the weekend. With the cool, moist air hitting the warm, dry air, cumulus build up with thunderstorms will be possible.

Rain showers begin tomorrow and will last through Saturday. More steady light rain can be expected on Sunday.  It doesn’t appear that temperatures will not be low enough to get any snow accumulation, but there could certainly be some snow mixed in.

The Long Range:   Next week will be cooler with periodic rain showers throughout.
