The set-up
We remain on the eastern edge of a ridge of high pressure which has allowed for a few, weak disturbances to traverse the area. Another one makes its way through Monday afternoon and evening bringing some light, accumulating snow to the area. The ridge slowly propagates eastward throughout this upcoming week keeping us mild and dry. Heading into February, a trough begins to dig into the northwestern United States which ushers in much cooler air and increased snow chances heading into February. Of course, we could still use the snowpack in the mountains so this is a welcomed sight!
