.DISCUSSION...The upper level low will continue to bring showers across
the higher elevations with snow at levels higher than 4500ft. 80-100%
probabilities of 0.10 inches of snow along the higher peaks of the
terrain. There is also 25% probabilities of thunderstorms along the
eastern mountains. Breezy conditions through the Cascades Gaps with
40-60% of the raw ensembles show probabilities of these areas seeing
25 mph or greater sustained winds with gusts to 50-70% probabilities
of seeing gusts to 40 mph. After today, winds will settle and return
to normal.
