It’s cold out there, clouds are overhead and there are rumors of snow all around.  Well, any snow we see this evening will be very brief and it will melt before any of us even wake up Monday morning.  So no need to worry.  South winds will make it tough to stay cold enough for snow, and in fact the winds will steadily warm us up overnight.  By Monday morning we should be around 40°.

Here’s a link to the latest radar image courtesy of Fox 12 News (and Mark Nelson) to help you keep track of where the rain and snow is falling.

Details

This evening:  Snow, changing over to a mix, and then just plain rain late tonight.  No accumulating snowfall below roughly 500′.  Anyone living close to 500′ and higher could see a quick inch before it melts later on with the incoming rain.

Monday:  Cold rain.  No issues.  Snow level will be all the way up to 2000′.

I’ll have a fresh look at the week ahead later this evening, but four things to know now regarding our week ahead:

It will be very wet.

Widespread valley snow this week is looking a lot less likely at the moment.

We will be staying in a colder and wetter than normal pattern for the foreseeable future which means you won’t have to go very high up in the hills/mountains to find snow and a lot of it.

The mountains are going to get absolutely dumped on with snow.  Especially above about 2500′.
