As of 07:00 Hours we have cloudy skies with variable visibility and it is not snowing.
For the forecast, a short wave trough has moved through the area early this morning with light to moderate precipitation rates in a Southwesterly flow aloft. Freezing levels should rise to about 1600 meters and hover there for most of the day. There are some lingering showers but mostly dry conditions for this morning with some broken cloud as the ridge builds for this afternoon bringing a brief period of unsettled weather. Will be a transition of mostly cloudy skies to unsettled by this afternoon. A very weak front coming from the low off the coast will bring cloudy skies and some light precipitation to the region this evening into Monday put we will be in a relatively dry air mass. Very light snow can be expected above 1500 meters. Cloudy for Tuesday morning before a ridge of high pressure aloft builds for Tuesday afternoon into Wednesday with warm temperatures and a FL around 2000 meters by Wednesday afternoon. Thursday is another transition day as a strong warm front moves in for Thursday evening with heavy precipitation and a FL above the local peaks. More on that later!! Guesstimates; 3-5 cm by Monday morning. Trace -2 by Tuesday morning.
