Long
Range: The weather will remain dry and cold through the
middle of next week. There are signs of some change developing on
Thursday/Friday.
The Science:
High pressure in the Gulf of Alaska and low pressure over Oregon will keep
Washington in the void for any significant moisture. A little warm air will sneak up the western
slopes today with temperatures trying to hit 30. – that will feel nice, but don’t
get used to it. The Frazer River outflow
will deliver a push of arctic air for another stretch of cold, windy and
generally clear weather.
Forecast confidence: good
Values from 4am today through
4am tomorrow.
