A WEAK SHORTWAVE TROUGH WILL MOVE THROUGH THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST INTO NORTHERN CALIFORNIA TODAY FOLLOWED BY ANOTHER TOMORROW. THESE DRY SYSTEMS WILL HAVE LITTLE MOISTURE IMPACT TO OUR FORECAST AREA BUT AN INCREASE IN THE WINDS. THE SECOND SYSTEM ON WEDNESDAY WILL PUSH THROUGH A LITTLE FARTHER SOUTH AND MOVE OUT OF OUR AREA, INTO 4-CORNERS, ON THURSDAY. A WIND ADVISORY HAS BEEN HOISTED FOR 10 AM THIS MORNING THROUGH 3AM PDT THURSDAY. NOT MUCH CHANGE IN TEMPERATURE FOR THE NEXT FEW DAYS, MAYBE A BIT COOLER ON WEDNESDAY. I EXPECT ANOTHER WEAK SYSTEM TO PUSH THROUGH THE PACNW ON FRIDAY KEEPING THINGS SLIGHTLY BELOW NORMAL IN TEMPERATURE INTO SATURDAY AND A BIT BREEZY, BUT NOT TO ADVISORY LEVELS.

Dennis, we ended up with awesome weather and great views. We could have done without the postholing, but that's part of the adventure! Thanks!

Snowy:

Sorry we could not hook up before your trek, but it sounds like you had a "good weather" time.
