Weather and SnowNowcast- A few clouds drift over the region as temperatures start the workweek off in the mid 20's and southerly winds blow 20-30 mph near the high peaks, all in aftermath of Saturday's storm... and what a storm it was! The band wasted no time plugging into a stack of Marshall amps and delivering a fully electric setlist. Yeah, the show started with some noodling and a mellow, warm before the storm, but quickly hit its stride as the energy shifted to a cold wind, rain, and yes... even thunder snow! When the cold front hit center stage, the light show was worth the wait. Unfortunately a neighborhood sound curfew curtailed storm totals, but the high country did stack up about 4" of snow.
Forecast: Tranquil weather kicks off the second week of October, whilst a mid-week system ushers in a round of unsettled weather.
Futurecast: Colder air and clear skies filter into the region for the end of the week.
