A series of storms packing mild, moist air from the subtropical waters of the Pacific has left the Northwest with a leaner-than-normal snowpack. Lower elevations are seeing day after day of fog between the storms while the upper elevations have basked in more springlike temperatures. Forecasters said they expect the fog to continue off and on until Sunday, but blow away as another mild storm strikes the region on Sunday. “We are going to get a fairly quick hosing of some deep subtropical moisture,” forecaster Matt Fugazzi, of the National Weather Service in Spokane, said of the Sunday forecast/Mike Prager, SR.
