return to cold
By ccrossen | March 8, 2010
After a beautiful couple of days, we return to more wintery weather. Two fast moving systems will affect us over the next day or so, but with little accumulation expected, perhaps a few inches way up high along the Crest.
Temps will remain cold through mid-week, with highs in the mid-30s at Lake level. Another system with a little more potential is due to come in Friday/Saturday, but, once again, nothing major. On Sunday, high pressure and warm temps return.
Nothing definite on the longer term right now.
Per TWD:
This week will feature more of a La Nina type of pattern with storms hitting the Pacific NW and brushing us on the Southern end. Another cold front with drop high temps on the mountains into the 20’s Monday & Tuesday with a chance of light snowfall Monday night as it moves through. Another storm for Wednesday will stay to our North as a ridge builds in over CA Wed-Fri. Next shot at measurable snow will be a storm moving in next Saturday and then another for the following Tuesday. These will be cold storms coming in from the North.
Going into the 3rd week of March it still looks as if the Southern jetstream is going to try to slam into CA with a prolonged period of storms. This looks to begin around the 20th. This may end up being a winter that tries to hold on right through the end of the ski season.
For those of you who love summer, this pattern is one that will flip right into a warmer than average temps as soon as the storms end.
