Powder Ridge (Base: 390', Top: 755')
6-day Forecast Discussion Updated for Saturday, May 10, 2008OVERALL SITUATION--TODAY--We'll be clearing out to drier conditions through most of the weekend as surface low pressure spins away from us out to sea and upper level low pressure stays just off to our north. We're looking for gradual improvement through the rest of the day as a brief and weak ridge of high pressure slides through in between disturbances--maybe a bit damp for an early hike but we'll dry out. Northeasterly breezes will be diminishing as temperatures remain steady.
SUNDAY--We'll be watching a much stronger storm system out west start to head our way. Clouds build back in and cooler temperatures may drop back in on us as well. Depending on timing, showers should hold off til overnight so we'll keep an eye on that as well.
MONDAY--The next storm pulls through as is drops in from west with rainy, breezy and cool conditions. The heaviest rain will likely cover southern resorts and it may just stall out offshore with lingering effects into Tuesday.
TUESDAY--Still cool and showery with easterly breezes as low pressure hangs around for another day.
WEDNESDAY--High pressure aloft squeezes in to dry us out briefly with more sunshine and drier, milder conditions.
THURSDAY--Dry conditions should hold out for one more day as we watch a stronger storm out west start to approach. This will likely bring us some clouds later on before things go downhill again for week's end--CT
