The past…
At Stevens Field the high yesterday was 56 and the low this morning was 26. The peak wind at the airfield in the last 24 hours was 7mph.
There was no precip in the last 24 hours.
Forecast discussion…
The pesky ridge is getting knocked down a bit by a system moving into the Pacific Northwest. Unfortunately the storm will stay well to our north and we’ll just see a few more clouds.
This weekend another system will do the same thing. The northern part of the state will get a little precip, but I expect us to stay dry for the next 7 or 8 days.
The long range models are now hinting at a system around the 24th. I’m thankful to have something to keep an eye on!
My forecast…
Today through Sunday… Expect lots of sun with periods of mid and high level clouds. Our mountains might see a few snowflakes tomorrow night and then again this weekend, but I don’t expect any accumulation.
Temps today and tomorrow will still be on the warm side with highs in the mid-50s to low 60s and lows near 20 to the lower 30s. The warm spots will flirt with the record high of 66 today. Wednesday through Sunday temps will be closer to our seasonal averages with highs in the upper 40s to mid-50s and lows in the mid-teens to upper 20s.
Winds will stay under 20mph today, then increase to 20-25mph tomorrow, and then peak in the 15-20mph range the rest of the period.
