Advisories: NONE AT THIS TIME.

A trough of low pressure (“U” shape on the yellow line) is moving in behind the high pressure ridge (“Arch” shape on the yellow line) that’s pushed eastward away from us. A frontal system is falling apart as it moves through but is still producing rainy weather. It looks like next weekend will also be wet as a frontal system pushes in. The recent heavy snows in the mountains have greatly improved local area ski conditions. Please check the ski resort web sites for the latest details and updates.
