Time and Day: 0830 Thursday
The Snapshot: More mixed rain and snow showers with a sun
break or two today and tomorrow. The
weekend is trending dry and partly sunny.
The Science: .5” of water equates to 3” of new snow in the base area with +-5” on
the upper mountain this morning. We will
take it.
Pressure gradients
have eased a bit this morning with cool weak west/southwest flow filling in
behind the front that passed earlier this morning. This pattern will persist into early Saturday
morning with the weekend trending dry and partly sunny.
The Long Range: Saturday will start out with light showers and
then begin to dry out through the day. Sunday will be dry and warm under weak high pressure. The wet weather returns early next week.
