Time and Day: 0630 Tuesday
The Snapshot:
This cold and mostly dry weather pattern
will persist through Thursday with warming and potential measurable snow for
the weekend.
The Science
Current Observations:
It is clear this morning with
a balmy temperature of 9 degrees. The
barometer is holding steady at 1014mb’s with the winds blowing lightly out of
the west. Satellite radar has snow falling
out along the coast and the south I-5 corridor. The rest of the state is dry with broken high
cirrus clouds overhead.
The Forecast: A weak off-shore low-pressure system tracking
south is the source of the high clouds and the snow in southwest lowlands. A weak snow shower or two may sneak in today but, for the most
part, we will remain mostly dry and cold through Thursday.
The Long Range: A fairly strong frontal system is setting up to bring snow late Friday afternoon.
It is a bit far out for strong confidence in the details, so stay
tuned.
