Time and Day: 0720 Thursday
The Snapshot: Light snow showers ending today, sunny and clear
Friday.
The Science: The
last spurts of post frontal snow showers are happening this morning as high
pressure begins to build over the Pacific. 5” between midnight and 5am will
help with the ski quality this morning. Westerly flow will squeeze out whatever
moisture comes off the Pacific today in light snow showers with precipitation
tapering and ending Thursday afternoon. Clearing skies can be expected by
Thursday night. Friday should be a beautiful spring day
The Long Range: Westerly flow begins again Saturday with a weak trough impacting the
region. The snow/rain line currently looks to be somewhere around 4500-5000’,
with moderate amounts of precipitation. Sunday and Monday look partly cloudy
with light passing snow showers.
