MOUNTAIN WEATHER FORECAST

Time and Day: 0630 Monday

The Snapshot:  The proverbial January thaw is upon us.   Long term clear and dry weather begins today.   Enjoy the sunshine and the stars.

The Science: The low-pressure system that brought us the dusting of snow yesterday will be replaced by a blocking ridge of high pressure today.  This high pressure system is expected to strengthen through the week. Therefore, expect clear and dry weather to prevail over the Central Cascades for the next + 5 days.  Cold clear mornings with nice daytime warming will be the temperature profile through the week as well.

The Long Range:  The dry weather pattern will likely persist into the upcoming weekend.
