Time and Day: 0630 Wednesday
The Snapshot: Snow showers today, dry tomorrow, more mixed
rain and snow heading into the weekend.
The Science: Showers out ahead of an approaching cold front
will move through the mountains today.
Cooler westerly flow will fill in behind the front, lowering freezing
levels and providing some moderate snow showers through the night. A weak high pressure ridge will break up the moisture
tomorrow for some drying and clearing. Another frontal system arrives on Friday
for more of the same rain vs snow.
The Long Range: It seems like we are locked into this pattern
of a frontal system followed by a ridge of high pressure every other day or so. Therefore expect this active weather with
freezing levels bouncing above and below 4500’ to continue through the weekend
and likely into early next week.
