Summit Forecast – Monday, March 15, 2010

Low pressure will continue to pull away from the coast as high pressure builds in from the northwest. The low will continue to stream an easterly flow of Atlantic moisture in this morning that will translate to steady snow along with dense fog. As the low shifts more offshore, this line of precipitation will begin to slide south allowing snow to taper to showers before ending all together this evening. Winds will be at their highest this morning when the gradient between the low and high will be the strongest. But as the high approaches, winds will decrease and begin to shift counterclockwise to the northwest into Monday. Blowing snow will persist through the forecast period even though winds will decrease as the shifting winds shift the newly formed snow packs. Fog will also limit visibilities as it will continue to be dense from the ample moisture stream this morning but as drier northern air moves down, fog will dissipate overnight and clouds above will fade out as well leaving a sunny day for Monday. As far as expected snow amounts, today will see 3-5 inches with a trace to an inch more expected overnight.
