For the forecast, clearing trend with a Northwest Flow aloft will bring sunny weather as an upper level ridge builds into the weekend. A significant upper level trough should bring some snow to the area by Monday into Wednesday. Updates daily on that possible scenario. Freezing levels will hover in the valley for today, rising to around 1000 meters by Friday. Looking like there will be a spike in the FL Saturday evening, possibly rising higher than the local peaks. Inversions likely for the weekend.
Clearing out this am, still some moisture to our South
Some clouds this morning before surface high pressure builds.
Looking Bluebird later this morning.
East to Northeast offshore flow with warmer temperatures on Friday in the upper elevations .
