Time and Day: 0730
Wednesday
Snap Shot. Light rain today, changing to snow
tonight. Snow tapers off tomorrow with
some clear periods possible, active weather returns for the weekend.
The Science: 1.42” if water dumped on the snow pack over
the last 24hrs with temperatures peaking around 420f yesterday.
A weak cold front
passed east of the crest a few hours ago which will begin to slowly drop
temperatures through the day. Cooler
air aloft and unstable westerly flow will keep precipitation moving through the
state into tomorrow. A high pressure
ridge tracking in will diminish the snow with
clear period’s tomorrow night and part of Friday.
The Long Range: A crazy
weather event of snow Friday night changing to moderate rain on Saturday and
then to a heavy snow Saturday night is in the works. Details and timing are still in questions so
stay tuned. The PNW will begin to dry
out early next week as high pressure begins to build.
