There ain’t a lot of new snow forecast this week...granted it is the middle of spring...but storm action is definitely on the way down.
Right now we have two stubborn pockets of storminess...one over the Pacific NW (namely Washington) and the other over the Great Lakes area. Neither look particularly snowy...just sort of rainy and soggy. But there is still a chance at some lighter snow at the higher elevations.
Further out in the forecast it looks like there is a slim shot at some more light snow for the Pacific NW.
We actually have a cutoff low forming in the Pacific that is going to bring some moisture over the Sierras and the Rockies as we head toward the end of the week. It doesn’t look all that intense...and really it is way out in the forecasts so there is a good chance that it may not even pull together the way it is showing on the charts right now. Check it out...
If this does form up the way the models indicate it looks like we could have some more soggy conditions move through the Sierras by Friday and Saturday eventually hitting the Rockies on Sunday. Again this doesn’t look like much new snow...mostly just some dusting at the higher elevations...the lower altitude stuff is going to be mostly rainy and windy.
I wish I had more for you guys...but as we get close to summer (and the west coasts melts from record heat) I think the chance of snow is going to get pretty slim.
Well at least we got some surf on the way.
