A few updates for you this fine Friday morning. If you are in a hurry here’s the latest.
The biggest change has to do with Saturday being much drier than previously thought as the rain will be just about finished before we even wake up Saturday morning. A nice change if you wish to be outdoors.
Now for the details.
Here’s a review of what I’m feeling most confident about.
High confidence
1.) Everyone at least sees snow in the air at some point either Monday and or Tuesday. Keep in mind that when I throw snowflakes up on the forecast graphic it does not necessarily translate into accumulating snowfall. It simply means our atmosphere is cold enough to keep the precipitation as snow all the way to the valley floor. Whether or not we are below freezing for it to stick is a whole separate issue.
2.) Anyone living above roughly 1000’ stands a very good chance of receiving a couple inches, if not more.
3.) I still think those of you on the east side of the valley have a better shot at seeing accumulating snowfall with this setup.
Breaking it down day by day
Today: Forecast is on track for a wet day.
Saturday: As mentioned, a decent chunk of the day will be dry. Rain moving in after dinnertime.
Sunday: Cool with showers. The afternoon and evening look to be the wettest.
Monday: Lots of details still up in the air, but with one new change. I’ve bumped the temps up slightly for Monday which will make it just a little bit tougher to have widespread accumulating snow on the valley floor. Note that when I say “slightly” I’m thinking highs 39/40° instead of 37/38° and lows right around 32/33°, so a small difference, and still quite chilly. Cold enough still to produce at least a rain snow mix for the valley.
Tuesday: Mostly cloudy with very light rain & snow showers possible.
Wednesday & Thursday: With how much things change around here I ought to not say much other than both days look cold lol…
Final thoughts
As I mentioned in the previous update it currently looks as though we will see a lot of snow in the air, but only end up with a dusting or some slush. For now I’m still not seeing a setup for a good snowstorm. I still expect many more changes as time goes on and I’ll do my best to relay those to you all.
