An Upper Level Low Pressure Trough (Shaded “U” shape with blue arrows) will be controlling our weather for the foreseeable future. The graphic for days 1-3 shows the frontal system that moves in and the one moving on to the coast bringing back the freezing Winter precipitation for a short time. You can expect just about everything except the kitchen sink to fall from the sky. The graphic for days 3-7 shows more complex frontal systems building up and heading our way. For mountain snow conditions at the local ski areas check out their websites or give them a call.
