Nowcast- It's o'dark thirty and high clouds hover overhead in the wake of yesterday's storm that delivered a southside shuffle. It looks like Trail Lake through Currant Creek stacked up 7" of dense, heavy snow with about .80" H2O, while the North Slope piled up just half that amount. In either case, winds blowing from the south and southeast don't discriminate and they've been steadily ramping into the 30's and 40's, blasting into the 50's near the high peaks. Temperatures are rather warm, registering in the low to mid 30's at the trailheads, but cool into the mid 20's with elevation gain. Riding and turning conditions are gonna be a bit rugged today in open terrain, so consider lower elevation wind sheltered slopes, where you'll find soft, creamy snow.

Forecast- A short-lived lull in the action is on tap 'til the early afternoon. Expect mostly cloudy skies with temperatures climbing into the upper 30's. Southerly winds may taper for a minute or two, but return later in the day, nuking into the 50's and 60's near the high ridges. Light snow develops late in the day and the fire-hose really turns on tonight into Wednesday with a foot of snow by about mid morning.

Futurecast- Colder air slides through the region later Wednesday and that should deliver a round of lower density snowfall. It's looking like an active pattern through the upcoming weekend.

The graphic above lays out a rudimentary time frame of our upcoming storm. in addition, the National Weather Service issued a Winter Storm Warning for the Uinta zone.
