Don't Pack the Coat & Shovel Just Yet......

For all the people I see walking around town in sandals & short sleeves in 40 degree weather, you will like this forecast. For the rest of us who wait for temps above 60 before we break out the shorts & hit the beach, it may be a little while yet.

It will remain sunny & cool thru Thursday in the 40's on the mtn. 4th storm to slam the Pac NW in the past week will arrive Thursday. This time the ridge will be a little further West so the storm should be able to slide down further West bringing us a possible light accumulation as the front moves thru Thursday night into Friday. Temps will be cold on Friday behind the front, possibly not breaking freezing over a good portion of the mtn.

Sunny weekend but temps will be slow to warm Sat. then warmer Sunday possibly breaking 50 on the mtn. The ridge will be shifting Westward across the Pacific over the weekend opening the storm door.

Monday a cold storm arrives out of the Gulf of Alaska. Not sure yet how strong the storm is going to be. Models are mixed on how much moisture the storm will gather as well as if it will split a little sending the heaviest snow just to our South. Either way we should be in for some fresh fluffy powder & some cold temps to start the week.

Storm door will remain open thru the week. Looks like a break the middle of next week before the possibility of another cold storm with cold air diving down from the North towards the end of the week.

Storm potential continues into the second week of April. I see the possibility of a storm the middle-end of the week of the 13th. Way too far out to get excited about. I'm getting married outside on the 18th so if it doesn't hit by the 16th hate to say I'm not rooting for it to happen for once. BA

I have to agree, these are great blog posts! It's better than checking the weather IMO for possible snow. Congrats on the wedding as well

I already took one for the team twice in Dec. when I went away for the weekend for both 2 ft. dumps & then last weekend I was away for the 2ft. dump. It's not supposed to snow when I'm in town.ha
