I know its april but what looks like a pretty big winter storm exists in many forecast models. Rough time to be up high, I think. Might even see some pass closures Monday? Hopefully the late date wont catch too many unaware. Being late in the weekend helps I hope.

Good news for skiing and for the snowpack. I just saw that snowpack at Rainier is only 70% of normal. And I tried to ski yesterday and oof, it was grabby, leg breaker stuff.

| Quote: | | Our weather pattern is in for a big change as we head into the long-range forecast. This kind of dynamic spring-like weather can give us (and the snowpack) a bit of whiplash. After a cold and partly clear night Tuesday, the building high-pressure ridge will take full control of our weather. Warmer air should start to flood into the Pacific Northwest Wednesday and send our freezing levels skyrocketing. Fueled by the strong April sun and longer days, we could see an increase of 9-10,000' in a span of only 48 hrs. So, we'll go from a very strong winter storm, back to warm and dry spring-like weather in just a blink of an eye. |

And then it gets colder. Freezing levels below 2000' Sunday night. Finally, starting to look like March-April weather. My best ski days other than LB area have always been between the 1st and 15th of March. This year was a total bust.
Currently strong thunderstorms in the Hoh and Queets/Quinault as well as St. Helens. (1:30 pm). Currently 36 degrees west of Lake Quinault at 600 ft.
Finally, very good rains on the east slopes of the Cascades after months of nothing but sun.

Alternating between hail and sunshine, friend wanted to go up Cableline this afternoon but postponed, go figure.

I drove across the state today and it was indeed windy. Stopped for a hike around Wenatchee and was almost blown away.

According to NWAC Avy danger looks to be bad this weekend so be careful out there folks. We are in Southern New Mexico and Texas Avy danger is zero, fire danger is off the charts with red flag warnings most every day anatemps in the 100s and gusty winds to 50mph.

The mid-elevation ski area 5-day forecasts that I am looking at are estimating 2.5 feet at Timberline, 2 feet at Bachelor, 1.5 feet at Alpental, 1 foot at Stevens, and only half a foot at Baker. Unseasonably cold temps and chances for snow at these elevations for the next 9 days.

Snow and hail today at Priest lake and more to come plus down to 32 degrees tonight, glad I still have some firewood left.
