February 2021 is coming to a close and March is just around the corner. Here’s how the next 7 days are looking:

HIGHLIGHTS

1.) Friday: Cool and breezy with rain and hail showers, sunbreaks.

2.) Saturday morning through Sunday night will be dry. I can’t help but feel like someone was praying really hard for a dry weekend, because that is exactly what we have on tap. Temperatures are going to be chilly in the morning hours; however, the late February sun should help keep things more reasonable during the day.

3.) I’m calling for rain for Monday with breezy winds of 20 to 30mph – a stormy day. Some of the weather models have this day totally dry which is why I’m not as confident about this forecast, but for now plan on it being a wet day.

4.) Tue – Fri should be dry. Watching for the chance of rain on Friday, but other than that, most of the work week will be dry and mostly sunny! I wouldn’t be surprised if some locations in the valley hit 60 this week either Thursday or Friday. Yes, spring will be trying to make an appearance this week. 🙂

The Cascades

Up in the Cascades snow levels will hover around 1500 – 2000′ with tons of fresh snow up there over the next 36 hours. This chart is showing 1 to 2 feet of new snow now through Saturday afternoon depending on elevation. This is in addition to the several inches of snow which fell all day long today. It’s going to be quite the snowstorm up in the mountains as winds will be gusting 25 to 35mph creating near whiteout conditions at times on Friday. Not a good time to travel up there. Saturday and Sunday will be much better, especially after around noon on Saturday.

Have a fantastic weekend and take care!!!
