With the non-active weather pattern we have been talking all week about the possible snow next week. The forecast models today continue to show a chance for several inches next Wednesday and Thursday from the Southern half of a storm hitting the Pacific NW.
The active weather pattern for the Pacfic NW will begin this weekend. The ridge will be further South in the Eastern Pacific but it will still be off of the coast of CA. That will keep the storm track and heaviest precip just to our North the next couple of weeks. We are still waiting for a change in the teleconnection patterns to get the ridge to pull back away from the coast and totally open the storm door.
As long as the Pacific NW is active however we will have several chances over the next 2 weeks for storms to dip further South and bring us some snowfall. The first one that looks like it could bring snow is next Wednesday. Then a couple of storms the first week of January. This is not a typical La Nina pattern yet and we are watching for things to continue to get snowier. BA
