...LIGHT LOW ELEVATION SNOW OR FLURRIES ARE POSSIBLE OVER
SOUTHWEST WASHINGTON AND NORTHWEST OREGON LATE THIS WEEK AND OVER
THE WEEKEND...
THE FIRST SNOW TO LOW ELEVATIONS IN SOUTHWEST WASHINGTON AND
NORTHWEST OREGON IS POSSIBLE LATE THIS WEEK AND OVER THE WEEKEND.
THE STAGE HAS BEEN SET FOR POSSIBLE LIGHT LOW ELEVATION SNOW OR
FLURRIES ON FRIDAY NIGHT AS THE OFFSHORE FLOW HELPED CREATE A COOL
DRY AIR MASS. AS A WEATHER SYSTEM MOVES LATE FRIDAY AFTERNOON AND
FRIDAY NIGHT...THE INITIAL PRECIPITATION MAY START AS SNOW TO VERY
LOW ELEVATIONS. AT THIS POINT HOWEVER...ANY PRECIPITATION AMOUNTS
LOOK TO BE VERY LIGHT AND CONFINED TO THE CASCADES AND INTERIOR
LOWLANDS.
THE MODELS INDICATE THE LOW LEVEL WINDS WILL AGAIN BECOME EASTERLY
AND OFFSHORE BY SATURDAY AS THE SYSTEM FROM FRIDAY DEVELOPS INTO AN
UPPER LOW EAST OF THE CASCADES AND OVER IDAHO. IT DOES NOT APPEAR
TO BE MUCH MOISTURE OVER SOUTHWEST WASHINGTON AND NORTHWEST
OREGON...BUT WHAT DOES CIRCULATE OVER THE AREA COULD FALL AS LIGHT
SNOW OR FLURRIES TO NEAR THE VALLEY FLOORS. THE BEST CHANCE FOR
SNOW THAT ACCUMULATES COULD BE NEAR THE CASCADES.
THERE IS A CHANCE FOR MORE SUBSTANTIAL MOISTURE TO IMPACT OUR
AREA AROUND THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK. SHOULD THE COLD AIR REMAIN IN
PLACE AS THE MOISTURE ARRIVES...PRECIPITATION WOULD BE IN THE FORM
OF SNOW. AT THIS TIME DETAILS ARE STILL VERY UNCERTAIN AT THIS POINT.
