Nice weekend starts today
-GOOD FRIDAY MORNING, EVERYONE...
High pressure will maintain its grip over the Pacific NW, and that will deliver a pretty fair day to the High Desert today. Temperatures will stay chilly through the morning and then top out in the low 50's. Light A breezes in the morning will calm. Those breezes will stay light and variable tonight. Under mostly clear skies our overnight lows will be in the low to mid 20's.
Conditions will stay quite fair going into the weekend. Saturday will see mostly sunny skies with highs in the mid 50's. Sunday will mark the beginning of the change. A system moving in from the north will thicken the clouds and bring a slight chance of some late day, scattered rain showers. Temps will drop into the 20's Sunday night, allowing for a chance of snow showers. From there, the decline will continue until by Thanksgiving, we see highs around freezing and overnight lows in the single digits to low teens. A chance of rain showers during the day and snow showers overnight will stay with us through the end of next week.
All of this could spell good news for Mt. Bachelor. There just may be enough snow in this cold, wet system to allow Mt. Bachelor to open, at least on a limited basis, for Thanksgiving weekend.
