Heavy Mountain Snows Ahead
There are going to be some happy skiers, snow shoe enthusiasts, and snow lovers this weekend, because quite a bit of snow is going to fall above 3000-3500 ft during the next week. A combination of a series of wet systems and temperatures just cold enough for mountain snows will result in several feet of fresh snow at higher elevations.
The infrared satellite image this morning looks promising. A modest frontal band, associated with a band of rain at lower levels, is now crossing the coast. But that is not what has gotten me excited...it is what is offshore: a broad region of instability (the mottled broken clouds) that is associated with cold air over warmer water. These kind of cold convective showers are the big snow makers of our region.
Fun times ahead - looks like a big snow season.
