Nowcast- High pressure shifts east and moth-eaten clouds drift through the region, playing hide and seek with a waxing Worm Moon. Winds blowing from the south ramped into the 20's and 30's late last night and continue in that spirit at o'dark thirty, while temperatures register in the mid 20's across the board. Snow surface conditions are gonna be a bit rugged today. The corn harvest is going to be hit or miss and is of course, aspect, elevation, and cloud cover dependent. Low elevation sunnies generally kick off the party around 10:00, and working around the compass towards west facing, should last into early afternoon. On the other side of the compass, you'll find a few swaths of shallow, yet coolish pow on upper elevation shadies.
Forecast- Look for increasing clouds and scattered snow showers developing as the day wares on. Winds from the south are gonna be obnoxious, blowing in the 40's and 50's near the high peaks. High temperatures climb into the mid 30's.
Futurecast- The main event arrives later today, delivering a good coat of white paint, much colder temperatures, along with some thunder-snow late this afternoon! I suspect 4"-8" is a good bet by early Sunday morning with snow showers lingering for a good portion of the day. On and off snow is slated for the beginning of the workweek, a break in the action on Wednesday, while another strong storm with heavy mountain snow is in the queue for Thursday into Friday.
Strong spring sun coupled with warm temps down low signal the beginning of mud season...
While up high, winter is still in command. In fact, Ted found soft snow in the
Whitney Basin yesterday.
