A RARE NEW ROUND OF MVP SKI PASSES GO ON SALE THIS APRIL....THIS IS A LIMITED OFFERING....ONCE YOU BUY ONE YOUR IN, AS LONG AS YOU PURCHASE ONE EACH YEAR THERE AFTER.....IF YOU SKI/BOARD MORE THEN A WEEK A YEAR, BUY ONE WHEN THEY OPEN FOR SALE.
"MILD WEATHER MID-WEEK...THEN COLD VIGOROUS STORM SATURDAY NIGHT/SUNDAY......NORTHWEST FLOW PATTERN EARLY NEXT WEEK WITH A SLIGHT CHANCE OF A FEW SHOWERS TUESDAY...THEN BIG WARM UP WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY.....NEXT POSSIBLE STORM AT MONTHS END"
TODAY'S WEATHER WILL BE MILD WITH LIGHT WINDS...HIGHS IN THE UPPER 50S IN TOWN.....SUBTROPICAL MOISTURE MAKING A RETURN THURSDAY WITH A SLIGHT CHANCE OF A FEW SHOWERS THURSDAY THROUGH FRIDAY. THIS IS THE REMAINS OF A STORM COMPLEX THAT BROUGHT QUITE A BIT OF RAIN TO HAWAII LAST WEEK. THE LEADING SYSTEM IS FALLING APART AS IT APPROACHES CENTRAL CA THURSDAY...BUT WILL PROVIDE ENOUGH MOISTURE AND ENOUGH LIFT THURSDAY THROUGH FRIDAY FOR THE POSSIBILITY OF A FEW SHOWERS. THE MAIN BENEFIT OF THE SUBTROPICAL MOISTURE WILL BE TO JUICE UP THE ATMOSPHERE PRIOR TO A STRONG SHORT WAVE'S ARRIVAL SATURDAY NIGHT....THIS SHOULD PROVIDE FOR A GOOD SPRING SNOW STORM SUNDAY WITH UP TO A FOOT IN TOWN AND 1.5 TO 2 FEET OVER THE CREST BY SUNDAY NIGHT........THIS MAY BE SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA'S LAST GOOD STORM........HOWEVER, RUSTY' MAY KEEP OLD WOOLLY OPEN INTO JUNE THIS YEAR.....SO DON'T EVEN THINK OF PUTTING THEM AWAY JUST YET.
LONGER RANGE:
THE BACK OF THE LONG WAVE TROF WILL TAKE ITS TIME MOVING EAST...SO EXPECT AT LEAST ONE INSIDE SLIDER TYPE VORT CENTER TO PASS CLOSE ENOUGH TO MAMMOTH FOR A FEW SHOWERS EITHER MONDAY OR TUESDAY.....TEMPS WILL BE COLDER THEN NORMAL EARLY NEXT WEEK. BY MID WEEK, THE LONG WAVE SHOULD BE EAST ENOUGH FOR THE BEGINNINGS OF A WARMING TREND IN ADVANCE OF THE NEXT PROGRESSIVE UPPER RIDGE. THE CANADIAN IS THE SLOWEST WITH THE UPPER RIDGE NOT GETTING IT INTO CA UNTIL FRIDAY NIGHT WITH GFS FASTER WITH IT ON THURSDAY. IRRESPECTIVE OF THE TIMING......IT WILL BE WARMER THE SECOND HALF OF NEXT WEEK.
LONGEST RANGE:
THE 00Z WEDNESDAY FANTASY RUN THROUGH 384 HRS HAD A COUPLE OF SYSTEMS INTO THE CENTRAL SIERRA AT THE END OF THE MONTH.....NO TELLING IF THAT WILL WORK OUT OR NOT....BUT THE DWEEBS WILL KEEP A WEARY EYE
TODAY'S COMMENTS:
IT IS PRETTY OBVIOUS NOW THAT WINTER IS WINDING DOWN OVER THE NORTHERN HEMISPHERE. THE CLASSIC SIGNS ARE THERE.....LOT'S OF LARGE SCALE CUT OFF LOWS FORMING WITH MORE MID LATITUDE BLOCKING IN THE HEMISPHERIC MODELS. C'EST LA VIE!
