WEATHER DISCUSSION
Last night’s storm was exactly the potency that we were expecting. A strong low pressure system moved onshore in the early afternoon of Monday, and kept rain, snow, and wind in the forecast through the late morning hours of today. Snow was plentiful in the mountains as the snow level started around 5,000′ this morning and rose only slightly before the showers subsided. Reports of over 10 inches of snow accumulation for the Cascades. The Siskiyous had significantly less, until about three hours ago (10:00 a.m.). At that time, snow started getting heavy at Mount A.
The rest of the day will consist of light and isolated showers, under mostly clouds skies. We get right back into high pressure and warm afternoon temperatures starting tomorrow. Expect to be in the mid-70’s for the west side valleys and the upper 60’s for the east side and the coast to wrap up the week. When we’re all said an done, Spring Break week will have had a little bit of weather to suit everyone’s preference.
Thanks for logging on and have a great Tuesday!
