::: LIGHT SNOW TODAY/ ISOLATED SNOW SHOWERS THURSDAY/ PARTLY CLOUDY FRIDAY/ LIGHT SNOW SATURDAY/ LIGHT TO MODERATE SNOWFALL SUNDAY AND MONDAY (NEXT WEEK LOOKS BUSY) :::
DETAILED SUMMARY FOR THE WEEK -//> UPDATED FOR WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 8th...Today --LIGHT SNOW-- -> The low pressure system currently dropping some showers across southern California is pushing moisture eastward across Utah and Colorado, with light snow showers developing today due to this moisture and some instability. Light accumulation is expected.
Thursday --SOME CLOUDS AND SUN MIXED, ISOLATED SNOW SHOWERS-- -> Clouds decrease and we have some lingering isolated snow showers as moisture lingers, and we are under an unsettled northwest flow aloft on the east side of a high pressure ridge. At the same time, low pressure deepens across the upper Midwest/ Great Lakes.
Friday --PARTLY CLOUDY-- -> High pressure ridging is expected across the area, with some warming expected. A storm is expected to approach late Friday, with light snow developing on Saturday.
Saturday through Monday --LIGHT TO MODERATE SNOW-- -> Colder temperatures and snow are expected each day due to 3 upper-level weather disturbances passing through. The second and third storms may be a bit stronger, with more snowfall for all areas Sunday and Monday. CM

Long range forecast / discussion...February 14 to 17
--We are watching for potentially more significant snow (better than "light") as we move into the 2nd half of February, with some of the computer model ensembles backing this up. Next Tuesday (14th) we have another shot at snow (probably light), then again next Thursday and Friday (16/ 17th) we may see more snowfall from another low pressure system. We will update when more info is available.
We have a moderate La Nina SST pattern in place through the winter, starting to weaken now, and expected to weaken into summer 2012. We expect increased storminess across the west in mid February as the pattern changes back to unsettled. CM
