Stevens Pass Mountain Weather Forecast
Day and Time: Saturday 0615
Current Observations:
24hr Precipitation: .01" SWE / 0" snow
Pass temperature: 13 base / 16 mid mtn
Pass level winds: Light and variable
Barometer: Steady at 1010 mbs
Sky: Clear
Radar: Some low valley clouds, no precipitation occurring in Washington this morning.
The Forecast: Abundant sunshine, clear skies, spring-like daytime warming today and tomorrow.
The Science: A high pressure ridge is tilting in over the PNW this morning, and will make more progress during the day Saturday and into Sunday. Initially, NE upper level flow on the east side of the ridge will maintain relatively low free air freezing levels, but the strong late winter sun will be felt and bring a rise in midday temperatures.
Long Range: After the sunny and dry weekend, clouds will increase Monday ahead of an approaching low pressure cell and warm front. Details will emerge but as of now this looks to bring moderate snow totals at typical seasonal freezing levels to Stevens Pass on Monday night/Tuesday.

4am tomorrow.
