.DISCUSSION...

An offshore low is providing southwesterly winds and weak
moisture transport across the region. This low is forecast to move
onshore Tonight wile filling and becoming absorbed by a sharp
upper trough along the PAC NW Coast by midday Friday. Some of the
most impactful weather will be the potential for mountain pass
level snow, that while is ongoing in light amounts, will see
accumulations ramping up beginning around Friday morning and
persisting through at least Saturday. NBM/WPC snow accums suggest
high level advisory criteria for that day and a half period as
accums begin to push past one inch per hour rates Friday morning
with RRFS snow ensembles plumes indicating occasional higher
potential than one inch per hour rates. Still with the NBM pops
drying up on Saturday, we have limited the time frame for a new
winter weather advisory, starting around 12z Friday through about
mid morning Saturday.  Winter Storm Severity Index pegs these
areas as high confidence, (70-90%) for minor impacts including
winter driving conditions. Once this system slides east of the
region this weekend, a large 588DM anticyclone develops over the
eastern Pacific which builds a ridge into western North America
for about the first half of nest week.
