More snow

A developing low pressure system over the Pacific ocean will quickly intensify as it approaches the coast tonight. Strong southeasterly Tuesday. As the low moves onto the north coast on Tuesday, gusty southwest winds will develop over most coastal regions in its wake, bringing heavy convective activity in behind.

Monday overnight brings 8-15 cm of new snow. This is accompanied by strong South winds, and freezing levels near valley bottom.

Tuesday: Snow amounts 15-25 cm. Ridgetop winds strong from the SW. Treeline temperatures near -5. Freezing levels near 500 m.

Wednesday: Due to the convective weather pattern, scattered light-moderate snow accumulations are expected. Ridgetop winds moderate from the SW. Treeline temperatures near -8. Freezing levels valley bottom.


Thursday: Cloudy in the morning, broken skies in the afternoon. Light afternoon flurries near 5 cm. Freezing levels valley bottom in the morning, rising to 700 m in the afternoon.
