.LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
Please don`t shoot the messenger. The 500 MB pattern across the
nrn hemisphere shows no real changes from yesterday through the
weekend in the models. Cold closed low/trough remain hung up
over the the area as solid blowing holds both upstream and
downstream. If anything the trend in the models is for it hold
on longer into next week. The upper level low will also remain
quite active as decent wave generator sets up W of Hudson Bay
between the strong ridge over W Canada and the low over the E,
so we can expect a few periods of precip late this week into
early next one, with the most significant system Fri-Sat.
Thu will see system passing to our S, which could bring some
SHRA into srn areas, but given dry air in place, this should not
amt too much if it occurs at all. Highs will generally be in
the mid to upper 50s. Should see things clear out briefly Thu
night into Friday morning.
The next system arrives late Friday and move through overnight
into Sat morning. Models have trended to a more intense system
moving right along the coast. Will stay with the current idea
of accumulating snow in the mtns, especially at elevation, but
could see some work to the valley floors in the N, and may see
some flakes mixing with rain late Fri night into Sat morning.
Lows Fri night will be in the 30s, with highs on Saturday likely
stick in the 40s, with gusty NW winds, and possible upslope
rain and snow showers in the mtns Sat afternoon and night. This
system will provide another reinforcing shot of cold air which
will be with us Sunday into Monday, when another low will pass
near the area, with models currently keeping it to our south.
