Time and Day: 0800
Tuesday
The Snapshot: Snow this afternoon, flurries tomorrow, snow
on Thursday and Friday.
The Science: The leading edge of the approaching frontal
system has just made landfall and is expected to enter the mountains later
today. This approaching system has a
fast moving warm front leading the charge
but will be quickly followed by a cold front.
East flow should hold temperatures at or below 320 with
freezing level falling in the wake of the cold front later tonight. Snow will diminish overnight with snow showers persisting tomorrow.
*I will post Thursday/Friday
storm totals later today with fresh model data.
The Long Range: Cool unstable NW flow will keep the snow in
the forecast through the weekend.
Another storm is starting to take shape for
Sunday(?) with next week starting out dry and a bit warmer.
