Stevens Pass
Mountain Weather Forecast
Day and Time: Monday 0600
Current Observations:
24hr Precipitation: .15swe, 2”of snow fell since yesterday
afternoon
Temperature profile: 17f base, 16f ridge
Pass level winds: light and out of the east
Barometer: has risen to 1023mb’s
Sky: partly cloudy with clearing
Radar: dry conditions state wide
The Forecast: The sun will make its last appearance of the year
today. Cold temperatures are moving in
with dry weather expected through Wednesday.
Long
Range: Enjoy the next two days because another wet warm system (similar to this
past weekend) is taking shape. Snow
begins late Wednesday night with rain and wind anticipated on Thursday.
The Science:
The barometric pressure hitting 1023mbs is indicative of the high pressure ridge
moving into the region. Thus the skies
are clearing and the atmosphere is drying and stabilizing. Enjoy.
The cold, dry air that has
moved in from the interior west won’t stick around for long as warmer SW flow
begins to make a push. Wednesday/Thursday’s
developing storm has very similar characteristics as this past event. The winds don’t looks as strong but they
will be in play. Details are still
developing, so for now, expect snow Wednesday night changing to rain on Thursday
and then back to snow on Friday.
Confidence in this event is fair to good.

4am tomorrow.
