Weather Forecast - 9/19: Chances of Snow Return Near Schweitzer Peak as the Summer Weather Pattern finally breaks down

The weather pattern has finally showed signs of weakening as the last
heat wave of the summer will come to an end by Sunday. The net result?
A more fall-like weather pattern finally arrives, just in time for the
first day of autumn; and we may see the first snow of the season at
Schweitzer as snow levels drop below 6,400 feet.

The valleys can expect a few light showers with the next storms, but
with the highs in Spokane only reaching about 58*, it should be cold
enough on the mountain that we should see at least one snowflake near
the summit of Schweitzer Peak, likely at Big Blue. If not, then there
will almost certainly be a wintery mix - temperatures at the top?
About 35 to 39 in the daytimes, but down into the 20s at night. Be
sure to stay tuned to Selkirk Powder Company's webcam image in the
upper-right hand corner of this screen, and as always, I'll update you
in the event of snowfall or any other major event, for that matter.
