Time and Day: 0630
Thursday
The Snapshot:
Dry today with clouds moving in, light
snow shows up tomorrow with moderate snow expected on Sunday. There could be some powder to play in early
next week.
The Science
Current Observations: According to Jack’s early morning snow report, it is
clear with high clouds on the upper mountain and
fogging in the base area. The
temperature is 24f degrees, the RH is 94%
and the barometer is 1027mb’s and
beginning to fall. The winds are
easterly 5-10mph.
The Forecast: The expected change is underway –yah! Westerly flow developing tonight should bring
an end to the inversion layer and allow
moisture to begin to track in. The first
cold front arrives tomorrow morning with another storm making its way in late
Saturday night or early Sunday morning.
These storms will start out on the weak side with just a few inches of
snow heading into Sunday morning.
The Long Range: There is now good potential to have
significant snow on Sunday’s and then again on Tuesday. Confidence in those details is still a bit shaky so stay tuned.
