EXTENDED WEATHER DISCUSSION FOR THURSDAY THROUGH SATURDAY

 

A high amplitude upper ridge extending into southeast Alaska

through the extended period will result in north to northeast

flow aloft over the Pacific Northwest. This will produce

generally clear and cold weather Wednesday over the mountain

areas. A strong surface high pressure center is expected to move

southward from Alberta to southeast B.C. Thursday with an arctic

front expected to move across the region Thursday night or early

Friday. This should cause increasing easterly winds, especially

at crest level and through the Cascade passes with a chance of a

little light snowfall. The frontal passage should also usher in

the coldest temperatures of the winter. Be prepared for bitterly

cold temperatures, especially when considering wind chill

factors. Mountain temperatures are likely to fall below zero

Fahrenheit on Friday. Continued cold and clear weather is

expected Saturday with winds diminishing and temperatures

moderating slightly but remaining well below normal for the

region.
