MOUNTAIN WEATHER FORECAST

Time and Day: 0900 Monday

The Snapshot:  A prolonged dry weather pattern with clearing and warming begins today. It appears that we have some amazing fall weather in the works.  
 
The Long Range:  A weak system moves in on Wednesday for a chance of some light mixed rain and snow.  The sun returns on Thursday with dry and seasonably warm weather continuing through the weekend.    

The Science:  
Current conditions = Temperatures is 36f, the pressure is 1031mb and rising, and the Rh is 87%. 

A large high pressure system is building over the PNW which will produce a period of dry, clear and warm weather.  A weak cold front, sliding in from the NW, will try to bust through on Wednesday. This system will produce some clouds and some light precipitation but it is not expected to have much of a punch. 

The high pressure rebounds on Thursday and is expected to remain stationary over the PNW through the weekend and possibly beyond.
