Still under ridging.

Today through Thursday-

Ridge of high pressure currently sitting over the Inland Northwest is beginning to weaken a bit. This will allow a weakening cold front to push through from the west. Moisture continues to look very limited for this storm for tomorrow. Today, look for just some high clouds at times. Tomorrow, a few flurries could fall as a result of the earlier mentioned front. Following tomorrow’s front, ridge of high pressure will remain very weak and the storm track will shift southward through Canada. Thursday looks to stay dry nonetheless. Temperatures will generally be in the 30s for each day. Today though, a few 40s are possible since we’re ahead of this front.

Friday through Tuesday-

Computer models continue to remain in strong agreement on a colder northwesterly flow developing over the Pacific Northwest. Several storms look to be on the way through the weekend and into next week. The first storm looks to arrive on Friday afternoon and into the weekend. This storm will introduce the colder air so this one is likely to contain rain as the main precipitation type. This idea is supported by the models with snow levels starting around 4500ft on Friday. Snow levels drop to around 2500ft by Saturday and then 1500ft on Monday. They basically hover here for the early part of next week and likely beyond. All in all, old man winter is coming back to the Pacific Northwest. Exact details for each of storms are not agreed on by the models so for now, all I can say is an increasing threat of snow each day with the potential for some decent accumulation at times. Temperatures will be in the lower 40s on Friday, mid-upper 30s for Saturday, and lower-mid 30s for Sunday through Tuesday.

Extended Outlook-

Cold northwesterly flow will continue to keep the threat of snow going each day. Temperatures moderate slightly by the 17th with a slight increase in snow levels. Much colder afterward, in fact possibly frigid according to some of the models through the 20th. Slight moderation in temperatures on the 21st then colder again through the end of the month. Basically, looking like a chance of snow each day.
