NOWCAST-
Mother Nature worked her magic overnight, squeezing an inch of snow out of the clouds that continue to drape our mountains this morning. In the wake of yesterday's cold front, temperatures are in the teens and west-northwest winds blow 15-25 mph near the high peaks. Recent winds raked the alpine zones above treeline and our big open bowls are taking a bit of a hit, where the snow surface is a little scratchy near wind exposed ridges. But don't let your hearts be troubled, there's a go-anywhere base and it's a brilliant day to go exploring.
FORECAST-
Clouds linger over the range this morning, but should thin out as the day wares on. Winds switch to the north and northeast and stay rather reasonable throughout the day, blowing in the 20's along the high ridges. Temperatures climb into the mid and upper 20's while dipping into the teens overnight under clear skies.
FUTURECAST-
Slightly warmer and continued dry for Wednesday with another cool front sliding into the region Thursday. Computer models suggest a pattern change to kick off the Lunar New Year, which, if my math is correct, should be right around February 1st :)
