Nowcast- A weak storm slid through the Uinta zone overnight delivering an evenly distributed, yet shallow coat of white paint throughout the range. It's o' dark thirty and thick clouds drape our mountains as temperatures register in the teens across the board. After a brief midday foray in 20's and 30's, winds blowing from the south mellowed into the teens right around supper time and continued in that spirit through the small hours of this morning.
Forecast- Look for mostly cloudy skies with on again, off again snow showers throughout the day. Winds switch to the west and northwest and pick up a little steam, blowing in the upper 20's and low 30's near the high peaks. Cooler temperatures are on tap with highs barely scratching into the mid 20's. Overnight lows dip into the low teens.
Futurecast- Friday's storm looks a bit more promising and gets going late in the day, stacking up 6"-8" overnight. A break in the action for Saturday and then a series of cold and potentially wet storms are slated for Sunday, continuing through next week. Still lots of variables, but the overall pattern looks promising.
