Mix of sun and cloud

The rain event on Sunday saw the freezing level rise briefly to 2200 m, but the bulk of the precipitation at that elevation fell as snow. Below 1700m the rain predominated. Subsequent cooling temperatures today have resulted in somewhat challenging and variable conditions.


A mix of sun and cloud with isolated flurries, but no significant accumulation.  The freezing level should lower to valley bottoms on Tuesday rise slightly on Wednesday then as high as 1500m on Thursday. Another warm system is forecast for later in the week as we move into a southwest flow.
