CONTINUING SHOWERS FROM FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY MORNING. 500 MB
TEMPERATURE DROPPING DOWN TO THE -35C RANGE WILL PROVIDE DEEP
INSTABILITY WITH EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS LIKELY THOUGH THE PERIOD AS
WELL. THIS WILL CAUSE LOCALLY HEAVY  INITIAL FRONT WILL COME
THROUGH QUICKLY WITH CURRENT MODEL RUNS INDITING ONLY A BRIEF
PERIOD OF SOUTHERLY WINDS AHEAD OF THE FRONT AND 850MB WINDS FROM
THE SOUTHWEST ONLY GOING ABOVE 40 KT NORTH OF OUR FORECAST AREA
INDICATING THE PROBABLE FORMATION OF A BRIEF BARRIER JET NORTH OF
OUR AREA. WINDS INCREASE FROM THE NORTHWEST BEHIND THE FRONT WITH
700MB WINDS IN EXCESS OF 50KT PERPENDICULAR TO THE COASTAL RANGE
AND CASCADES THROUGH THE PERIOD. THIS WILL BRING STRONG GUSTY
WINDS EAST OF THE CASCADES WHICH WILL CAUSE BLOWING SNOW BRINGING
VISIBILITIES DOWN THROUGH SUNDAY MORNING. BIGGEST CONCERN IS A
FORMATION OF A WELL DEFINED BAND OF BRIEF HEAVY PRECIPITATION AS
THE COLD AIR MOVES IN THAT COULD CAUSE ENOUGH SNOW TO FALL AT ONCE
TO OVERCOME THE 39 DEGREE 4 INCH SOIL TEMPS AND KEEP THE SNOW
STICKING THROUGH THE SLIGHTLY ABOVE FREEZING DAY
TEMPERATURES...RESULTING IN HIGHER LINGERING SNOW ACCUMULATIONS.
CURRENT MODELS DO NOT INDICATE THIS HAPPENING.
