NOWCAST-
A waxing Snow Moon, casts beautiful light on our mountains this morning as high pressure delivers cloudless skies and light northerly winds. Temperatures are slightly inverted, meaning lower elevations are cooler and register in the teens, whilst ridgetop temperatures are in the mid 20's. In between old tracks, wind funk, and varying degrees of supportable suncrusts, a few patches of soft snow still exist on mid elevation, sheltered slopes.
FORECAST-
Expect a warm, sunny day with high temperatures climbing into the upper 30's. Northwest winds should be rather well-behaved, blowing in the 20's with a few gusts to 30 mph near the high peaks.
FUTURECAST-
Warm, dry conditions are slated for Valentines Day with temperatures soaring well above average across the range. A quick hitting cold front slides through the area Tuesday through Wednesday, though the jury is still out on this one. However, I bet we squeak a couple inches of snow out of the sky before high pressure builds in to round out the work week.
