Snows ends by Thursday before starting up again late in the weekend

Wednesday, January 20, 2016

This is a summary of the detailed weather discussion.

The last wave in the storm cycle passes over the area this afternoon and tonight, ending snows by tomorrow morning as the sun makes an appearance for Thursday. Very cold valley temperatures will be observed by Friday as temperature inversions reform, though the upper elevations will warm noticeably by Friday and stay warm for Saturday.

Another storm is forecast for late Saturday or early Sunday, and is forecast to keep snow going through Monday before ending by late Monday night or very early Tuesday morning. Tuesday should be dry before a grazing wave in northwest flow brings a chance of snow back for Wednesday.

A break in inclement weather is then expected before a possibly large and complex storm threatens our weather for the last weekend in January.
