The first part of the winter storm moved through on Thanksgiving. It produced 5 inches of snow containing .5 inches of water. Low temperatures in the last 24 hours were in the low 20s. Westerly winds only gusted to 21 miles per hour along the central Skyline near Ephraim Canyon but there were gusts up into the low 50s at Monument Peak near Electric Lake.
The next portion of the storm is still on track for tonight into Saturday. We should see a good shot of snow with VERY windy conditions. Snowfall should start this evening during a warm front and ramp up overnight. The cold front will move through Saturday mid or late morning and snowfall will taper off in the afternoon. Snow levels should start out at around 7000' and drop Saturday. I'm expecting 9 to 16 inches of snow from this part of the storm. Wind will be strong from the west veering more northwest with the frontal passage. We'll see a break Sunday, Monday and Tuesday then a disturbance mid week that might give us a little snow. Another storm system is shaping up for the following weekend.
