MOUNTAIN WEATHER FORECAST

Time and Day:  0600 Wednesday

The Snapshot:  It is clear at 5am this morning with some morning fog possible as the sun begins to rise.  Dry with a slow warming trend can be expected for the remainder of the week.

The Science:  Hopefully we will see a bit more sunshine today than we did yesterday – pesky mid-level marine layer sneaking in there.  The barometer bumped up a few more notches overnight as the high pressure continues to strengthen.  

A warm, moist air mass approaching the coast will begin to raise freezing levels over the next few days. The moisture associated with this system will split or just dry up as it hits the high pressure ridge.  Therefore, expect this dry weather, but with warmer temperatures, to continue into at least Saturday.  

The Long Range:  The next chance of some moisture will be late Sunday or Monday.   Freezing levels are also expected to rise above Pass level by Saturday.
