High pressure brings a new stretch of dry conditions, lovely timing with the middle of this across the weekend.
As usual the centre of the high tells us whether we can make lots of snow overnight - when the centre is to the west it is all systems go - when the centre moves eastwards it creates an inversion with the cold air stuck down in the valleys.
The high slowly moves eastwards, letting afternoon temperatures warm significantly too.
-> we have a period of sunshine and light winds, lasting through the weekend, as snowmaking nights gradually thaw.
The next cold front arrives on Tuesday into Wednesday. In the west, where there is a connection to tropical moisture, there may be 50 to 100 mm across two fronts as they pass by. By the time one of those reaches the southeast it has lost that connection, and it starts to slide. This is more like 5 to 10 mm - and most of that isn't cold enough for snow.
-> the next wet weather develops on Tuesday, and there may be a little snow up high on Wednesday.
Thursday is the next break, but this one looks shorter - the next weather system arrives at the end of the week, and may deliver some snow into the weekend.
