The
Snapshot: Snow changing to rain today. Tomorrow will end with rain turning to snow, wind
and lowering temperatures.
The
Science: An
approaching warm front will spread another round of moisture into the mountains
today and tonight. Rain can be expected
throughout the resort. A period of heavy
rain changing to snow can be anticipated tomorrow as an approaching cold front
drops in from the NW. The timing of the
when the cold front passes east of the mountains will influence on when the
rain turns to snow. With some luck, the higher
ridges could get a foot of snow with less expected at Pass level.
4-7day
Long Range: Snow
showers linger into Tuesday with high pressure building. Christmas day through weeks end will be dry, clear
and warm.
