SAVE THE DATES... and take a date!
Nowcast- A band of high clouds drift through the Uinta Zone early this morning, keeping a lid on overnight temperatures which register in the low to mid 20's. Along the high peaks, southerly winds flirted with gusts in the mid 20's for a few hours late last night, but decided it was too early in the relationship, and backed off into teens near the turn of the new day.
Forecast- Look for increasing clouds throughout the day with a nice little shot of snow developing overnight into Sunday. Not a season starter (
maybe 6"-10"), but enough to pique our interest with a
Winter Weather Advisory issued by our good friends and long time partners at the National Weather Service located right here in the City of Salt.
Futurecast- A break in the action for Monday, with another quick hitting system on tap for Tuesday
Ted Scroggin, our main man who knows the Uinta's like no other, was out and about on the tail end of this weeks storm and notes... "A short walk around the
Mirror Lake and Bald Mt. area to look at conditions. The recent storm left about 6-10" depending on elevation and this new snow was falling on a few inches from the mid October storm. "
Not much much going on for the eastern front. None-the-less... just enough to walk around on with a little structure. However, 10" of settled snow does little to cover the 4' of boulder fields that make the Uinta's such a curiously, un-intriguing early season destination. Though the Bald Mountain Chamber of Commerce is working hard to change that mindset :)
