Warm front moving through

A warm front moving into Washington State has spread light snow to the South Coast mountains. A ridge of high pressure will bring a drying trend on Tuesday.

An upper ridge will build off the BC Coast on Tuesday giving generally dry conditions to the Inner South Coast Wednesday and Thursday. Warm air aloft with the ridge will send freezing levels soaring on Thursday. The ridge will weaken on Friday allowing increasing moisture to spread across the South Coast.
