Long-term models show a brief dry period on the weekend and then another similar pattern developing for next week. Forecast from Tuesday 4pm to Wednesday 4am Precipitation .25+ in. Water 3-5 in. Snow Temperatures Low 30 High 32 Winds 5-15 W gusty Forecast for Wednesday 4am to 4pm Precipitation .25 in. Water 2-4 in. Snow Temperatures Low 28 High 32 Winds 5-10 SW TRENDS AND TIMING Precipitation: These bands do not have a whole lot of moisture in them, so not a huge snow producer. However, we should get a few inches every day, which will add up to some good skiing. A weak convergence this evening could bump up snow totals an inch or two. Freezing levels: Freezing levels will stick around pass level until tomorrow afternoon. Freezing will then drop in the wake of a stronger cold front. Freezing levels could get dip below 1000’ on Thursday. Winds: Gusty frontal winds are possible this afternoon. It will be possible to get some gust above 30mph this evening. Winds should taper over night and shift SW tomorrow.
