Nowcast- Whelp... we needed the wind, said no snow lover ever, but it is helping to usher a storm into the Uinta zone. South and southwest winds began cranking into the 30's and 40's at the turn of the new day and continue in that spirit at o'dark thirty this morning. A thickening layer of clouds kept a lid on temperatures which register in the upper 20's at the trailheads and mid teens along the ridges.

Forecast- Storminess is just hitting northern Utah and should begin spreading into the Uinta's by about sunrise. Winds shift to the west and northwest as the front slides through and relax somewhat, while temperatures don't stray much from where we're at this morning. Storm-wise... I think 4"-8" is a good bet before things begin winding down later in the day.

Futurecast - A cold, crisp break in the action is slated for Monday, though the weather pattern remains active with a similar looking storm materializing midweek and another storm in the queue for next weekend.

A little lean, but it's obvious Bald Mountain has been to the gym recently and those broad, well defined shoulders reflect the effort :)
