Nowcast- A band of moisture still tries to produce a few inches of snow for the Uinta's, but so far has only delivered a couple traces. Cold air definitely filtered into the region in the past few hours as the mercury dips into the single digits near the ridges and teens at the trailheads. The storm is a bit of a bust, but if you ordered west and southwest wind, well then, we've got ya covered, especially near the high peaks where winds steadily blow in the 30's and 40's. It's gonna be a bit rugged this morning and your best best for soft snow is mid elevation, wind sheltered terrain.
Forecast- Look for scattered snow showers with an inch or so stacking up, along with cold temperatures, not straying much from where we're at this morning. Westerly winds are gonna be obnoxious, blowing in the 40's for the next few hours, but taper off later this morning and switch to the north and then northeast. Expect scattered snow showers tonight with temperatures cratering into negative territory.
Futurecast- Not much action in the weather department to round out the work week, but there's some buzz circulating around a storm materializing late in the weekend. I'll keep ya updated as details evolve.
I know you came for the snow, but I hope you'll stay for the views... Hayden Peak looking mighty whitey these days :)
