General Discussion: A fast moving storm will bring another round of snow to the mountains today. Tomorrow will be another day in between storms with the next system arriving on Tuesday.
Long-term: Models disagree in what happens after Tuesday’s storm. Some have high pressure building for dry weather finishing out the week and others have another system tracking in on Friday. Either way a pattern change is in the works.
