A weak system tomorrow

The drought continues as a broad ridge of high pressure still remains over the region. A weak system tomorrow will appproach the coast and break up as it hits. We might see 5cm if were lucky, most of the precip will fall to the south of us. No real organized systems out in the pacific for the foreseeable future as the offshore ridge continues its deflecting pattern. Freezing levels this week are forecast to drop to surface later in the week with the arrival of some cooler air, so we might see some snow out of the guns.

Alpine Forecast

Monday: The ridge of high pressure is expected to shift Eastwards allowing a weak front to approach the coast. Expect increasing cloud during the day with light Southerly winds. Freezing levels should gradually lower to about 2000 metres as the inversion breaks down.

Tuesday: Cloudy with light precipitation beginning in the afternoon. Winds increasing to moderate from the Southwest and freezing levels between 1000-1500 metres.

Wednesday: 5-10 cm of snow above 1000 metres. Winds moderate from the West.
