6-day Forecast Discussion Updated for Sunday, June 21, 2009

All of us at Snowforecast.com thank you for your support this season!  We wouldn't have been able to do this without your viewership.  Our reputation for customized, skier/boarder friendly forecasts is growing but we still need to get the word out to keep us going for next season.  Please contact your favorite resort and put in a good word for us!

Look for our Snowforecast.com Facebook fanpage soon!

Here is the latest from the NWS until we ramp operations again this fall--we'll have much more detailed and customized discussions and forecasts then...

REGIONAL DISCUSSION;

--> A DEEP UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WITH EMBEDDED IMPULSES WILL PRODUCE SCATTERED RAIN SHOWERS AND SHOWERS/ THUNDERSTORMS OVER PARTS OF THE NORTHERN ROCKIES/PLAINS/INTERMOUNTAIN REGION, AND PARTS OF THE GREAT BASIN THROUGH MONDAY. THERE IS SOME SNOW IN THE FORECAST FOR THE CASCADES, MAINLY ABOVE 4,000 FEET, WITH SNOWFALL AMOUNTS OVER A FOOT POSSIBLE IN SOME OF THE FAVORED LOCATIONS LIKE MT BAKER.

--> TEMPERATURES BENEATH THE UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WILL BE BELOW, TO MUCH BELOW AVERAGE FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR THROUGH MONDAY.

OREGON SPECIFIC, AND LONGER RANGE;

.SYNOPSIS...AN UPPER TROUGH OVER THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST WILL SLOWLY MOVE OFF TO THE EAST 
LATER TONIGHT AND MONDAY...FOR A DECREASING THREAT OF SHOWERS. A RETURN TO DRY WEATHER
AND NEAR NORMAL TEMPERATURES IS EXPECTED FOR MUCH OF THE UPCOMING WEEK...EXCEPT FOR
THE POSSIBILITY OF SOME SHOWERS AROUND WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND AGAIN NEXT WEEKEND.

Long range forecast / discussion...June 21 to August 31

For those who want to know, it looks like an El Nino SST pattern is developing and strengthening. We would expect more moisture for thunderstorms and showers this summer, and Pacific Hurricane activity with this development. We do not think this will be a dry summer compared to average, in fact it may be a bit wet. CM
