Snow showers are expected today before the next system brings precipitation tomorrow. Temperatures range from about 30 degrees at base to 20 degrees at 10,000 ft. Conditions are generally expected to be cloudy before precipitation really kicks in tomorrow. The above graphic shows current conditions across the United States. The next system can be seen bringing rain to the Pacific Northwest.

Short term:

This system will start producing meaningful snowfall throughout the day on Thursday. About 10 inches of snow can be expected, which should make for good skiing conditions.  

Long term:

High pressure looks to regain control over the area by Friday afternoon. That high will stick around for a while. Model runs show systems unable to push through the Pacific Northwest into our area, leading to quiet weather. Hopefully this forecast changes and the storms can share the love over here. The above graphic shows one of the systems, which is not forecast to produce meaningful precipitation here.
