As this picture clearly shows I’m a deep thinker lol…  Today I’m thinking about the forecast for this weekend and next week as we will continue with both colder than normal weather, and more flirtations with possible low elevation snow. 

The next 7 days.  Yes, more snowflakes in the forecast, but sadly it will likely be more of the same with some slush or a dusting at best.  Better chance for snow the higher up in elevation you live.

Details

Rest of today:  Breezy with gusty south winds turning us mild (briefly).  Rain moves in tonight with a cold front and we cool right back down.

Friday:  Showers during the day with some steadier rain in the evening.  A few hail/ice pellets showers possible along with some fairly heavy rain showers, especially during the afternoon hours.  Snow levels around 1500’.

Saturday:  Snow level will start quite low (around 1000’) before rising to 2000’ later in the day with a few showers.

Saturday night – Sunday morning:  Another cold air mass surges in during the overnight hours bringing snow levels close to 500’.  I’m currently not anticipating anything real exciting, but the possibility exists that a few snow showers could fall down to the higher hills around town.

Sunday:  After a few rain (or snow showers), skies should clear up leading to a partly cloudy afternoon. 

Monday:  Dry & chilly.

Tuesday & Wednesday:  More chilly weather with rain showers and very low snow levels.

No great chance for snow on the valley floor yet, but if you live 500 – 1000’ you have a decent shot at seeing a light coating to an inch or two this weekend with possibly a little more next week.  Basically our cold and wet pattern is not going anywhere anytime soon.

Happy Valentine’s Day!!
