Mid-Day Weather Update

Mid-Day Weather Update

Time: 11:30 am

Changes: 
No significant changes to this morning’s forecast.  We are still on track to have freezing levels hit 4000’ this afternoon (they may be close to that now) and rise above 5000’ sometime after midnight tonight.  The snow will begin to intensify in a few hours with heavy snow expected tonight changing to rain after midnight.   

Current Observations: 
It is cloudy and lightly snowing, the base area temperature just hit 32f with the upper mountain and 27 and climbing.  While the leading edge of the warm front is still offshore,  the large band of moisture out ahead of it is just entering the western slopes of the Cascades.
