SPOT WEATHER FORECAST

11/17/2009 Weather Short term: The cold front that moved through early this morning will just provide snow showers today. Another very similar system as the past 2 days, will bring more precipitation with rising freezing levels to the mountains tomorrow and opening day. Long-term: This pattern seems to be well established for the next 4-6 days. We will continue to battle the freezing levels as these systems move through - which should be expected for November weather. 24 hour forecast starting at noon on Tuesday Precipitation “ Water: .25 “ of Snow: 2-6 Temperatures (F): 4000’ Low: 26 High: 30 5000’ Low: 22 High: 28 Winds speed/Direction Pass level: 5-10 WSW Ridge top: 5-15 WSW TRENDS AND TIMING Precipitation: Snow showers will come and go for the next 24 hours. Snow will develop after noon tomorrow and ramp up through the night. We will play the rain, snow, rain game again with this next system. Freezing levels: Freezing levels will drop to 3000’ today. Freezing levels will begin to rise to 4000’ after 4pm tomorrow . Same freezing level game as the last 2 days - warm air will over ride the cool air and the battle will commence. Let’s hope the cool air wins out again. Winds: Gusty westerlies will mellow today and then shift SW in reaction to the tomorrow system. Gusty frontal winds will be possible, but overall not expecting any significant wind event with the next storm. jdm
