MOUNTAIN WEATHER FORECAST

Time and Day: Friday 11/7/14

The Snapshot: It’s good to see the sun peaking through the morning fog.   The fog should burn off for a beautiful sunny day.  Tomorrow will be the same.  Light rain with some upper elevation snow is likely on Sunday.

The Science: As expected, high pressure has built off of the Washington coast; this will bring dry and partly clear conditions to the region.   A weak disturbance will track south along the Cascade Crest on Sunday dropping a little rain and snow in the mountains. 

4-7day Long Range:  High-pressure re-builds on Monday for a dry and cool start to the week.   A large pool of arctic air descending into the intermountain west will bring the coldest temperatures of the year to eastern Washington early next week.     

24hr precipitation ending at 4am tomorrow:

Water = 0  Snow = 0

Trend and Timing:
Dry conditions will prevail until Sunday morning.


24hr temperature ending at 4am tomorrow: 
Low: 32   High: 45
Freezing level:  4500’ rising to 7000’

Trends and Timing
Temperatures will rise into the mid to upper 40’s and even higher with the aid of the sun.  

 
24hr Winds (mph) ending at 4am tomorrow:
Base: 0-5 W  
Ridge Top:  0-5 SW
