Time and Day: 0700 Friday
The Snapshot:
More of the same today; morning fog with clear conditions on the upper
mountain.
The Science
Current Observations: Cold this morning with the temperature spread of 180f
in the base area and a reading of 340f at the Tye Mill telemetry site. The RH is 94% and the barometer is holding steady at
1032mb. The east winds are starting to
weaken but are still gusting 10mph or so through the Pass.
The Forecast: The temperature inversion layer has settled in and
will likely continue for the next few days.
The models seem to be coming around to keeping the east flow intact at
least through the weekend. That is good
news in helping preserve the snowpack.
The Long Range: The high pressure stationed over the PNW will
stay put through the weekend. There are some early indications of some change
trying to begin next week. That change will
likely be slow in coming, but it’s a start.
