Residual moisture with daytime heating will bring a few afternoon clouds today with an isolated shower possible, otherwise, partly cloudy, cool and breezy with highs in the 40s. Fair and a little warmer on Friday and Saturday as a weak ridging returns, this will push daytime back up around 50 degrees, while overnight lows drop into the 20s. We then focus our attention on the next series of storms forecast to arrive Sunday through the middle of next week. A deep trough of low pressure will dig south from the Gulf of Alaska, sending this series of colder storms into the region. The first should arrive on Sunday with clouds and winds increasing during the morning and snow showers developing by afternoon. The snow level will likely start out above 6,000 feet but fall to around 5,000 feet on Monday as the second system passes through, with snow showers continuing through the middle of the week. Daytime temperatures will fall to the lower 30s early next week as lows dip back into the teens. The snow level could also fall as low as 3,000 feet by Tuesday or Wednesday, where preliminary accumulations of 1-2 feet are possible through next week. Snow showers should taper off Wednesday or Thursday, but more wintry weather is possible into next weekend. While this is still a little ways out there, confidence continues to increase we may experience our strongest "winter" storm, season to date. If you have travel plans into the mountains, be ultra-prepared for winter weather driving conditions and always carry chains! Expect more info as we approach the weekend and the details come into better focus.
