Tue, Mar 17 - High pressure system building

High: 58°F Low: 31°F We have entered into the High Pressure ridge. Most of yesterday morning began with spectacularly cloudy skies, so we had a slow start to the warming. But it started to clear mid-morning and then it started to warm up and we ended up nearing 60°F. This morning, we are starting with clear skies and are gearing up for a hot day approaching 70°F. Normal Record Snow College MHS KMTI High 54°F 72°F (2007) 58.4°F 59.5°F 60°F Low 30°F 12°F (1951) 31.4°F 28.9°F Precip 0.05" 0.51" (1987) 0" 0" 0" The high pressure system continues to build over the Western states. As it does, it will bring warm, tropical air from the South as well as allow clear skies and solar heating to bring temperatures up into the 80's during the second half of the week. Previous record high temperatures are in the mid-70's, so we have an easy potential to break some records this week. ​

As the high pressure ridge will bring clear skies and high temperatures. Temperatures will be around 60 today, around 70 tomorrow, and into the 80's for the rest of the week. The record high temperature for Thursday, March 19, was set in 2017 at a high temperature of 75. So, a forecast into the 80's has the potential to blast multiple records. Something to watch for this week. ​

January 25 Forecast

We have cold weather coming from the North which is continuing to dominate our area. Yesterday on campus, we had a high temperature of 21*F. We saw flurries of snow on campus yesterday, but there no significant accumulation and no measurable water. Overnight, a humid air mass moved into the area which raised the dew point and allowed snow to form, but again with no measurable accumulation. The temperature at Snow College dropped to 11*F this morning.  The cold will continue for the next few days, so we are looking at high temperatures in the mid-20's for the next couple of days and lows around 10*F. However, the Pacific High will start moving onto the coast, raising the temperature to the mid-30's on Friday before the next system moves in over the later part of the weekend.
