FORECAST:
A mix of sun and high cloud for today as a weak upper level low spills some cloud into the area in a Southwesterly flow aloft. The freezing level will rise to around 1800 + meters, dropping back to 1000 meters tonight. Ridge rebuilds for Friday in a dry Northerly flow aloft. Saturday is also looking sunny with a low moving into the area from the Gulf of Alaska on Sunday. Early next week upper level troughing will bring a mixed bag of weather, more on that as we get closer. Guesstimates: dry until Sunday.
