Day 7 of Mt. Shasta, CA (KMHS)

As expected, more snow fell last night, but surprisingly, only amounted to 0.20” of liquid equivalent precipitation. A few more snow showers are still possible but likely will not amount to much, with clouds thinning and breaking up leading to a warm up (up to 37F so far). Winds have been very light, possibly no more than 5 kt for the maximum. Day 6 low still looks to occur at the end tonight as clear skies, calm winds, and fresh snow cover lead to good radiational cooling, which should continue through the night for a cold day 7 low. More sunshine than the past couple of days will lead to a quick daytime warmup, even with the snow cover, but the snow cover will probably prevent it from getting overly warm or too much warmer than model guidance. Clouds will increase late in the afternoon with a shower or two possible, but likely will form too late to really affect the high temperature. Winds will be very light again.
