Time and Day: 0715 Sunday
The Snapshot:
Sunny and warm today and tomorrow with east winds and a slight temperature
inversion.
The Science
Current Observations:
It’s a beautiful, clear, late
winter morning. No new precipitation in the past 36 hours, light east winds at
ridge tops and in the base area this morning. Temperatures are in the mid 20’s
in the base area and on the east side of the ski area, and 32 on the upper
mountain on the west side (top of Skyline chair). The barometer is steady
around 1019.
The Forecast: A high pressure ridge remains parked over the
PNW today and tomorrow, directing most clouds and moisture away from our area. The
ridge will shift east on Monday, with a low pressure system approaching the
California/Oregon border.
The Long Range: Light precipitation, potentially rain, will spread from south to north
on Tuesday. Amounts look unimpressive for Stevens Pass. Snow levels should drop
on Tuesday with light to moderate snow possible Tuesday night and Wednesday.
24hr values daily 4am to 4am.
