The past…
At Stevens Field the high temp this afternoon was 44 and the low this morning was 9. I saw temps down to -2 this morning.The peak wind at the airfield was 10mph.
Precip in the last 24 hours… None
Forecast discussion…
An upper level system will move through the area Tuesday night. Storm energy will be decent but there isn’t much moisture. Plus it’s moving through from the northwest which isn’t a good trajectory for us.
A similar system might try to move through on Thursday. I’m skeptical of this one and don’t expect much.
Ridging over much of the western US will keep us dry through the weekend.
The long range pattern continues to look more active the first week of February.

My forecast…
Tuesday… We’ll see more clouds and a few spotty snowshowers, especially over the mountains beginning around sunset and into the early morning hours. Highs will be in the upper 30s to lower 40s and lows will be 0 to 20.
Snowfall amounts…
– Valley: zero to a half inch
– Mountains: 2-3”

Wednesday and Thursday… We’ll see partly cloudy skies and spotty snowshowers, especially over the mountains during the day on Thursday. Highs will be in the mid-30s to lower 40s and lows will be 0 to 20.
Snowfall amounts…
– Valley: “a flake an acre” – technical forecasting term for very little
– Mountains: 1-2”

Friday through Sunday… Expect lots of blue sky with occasional patches of mid and high level clouds. Highs will be lower to mid-40s and lows will be 5 to 20.
Long range… Forecast models continue to agree that the pattern will get more active the first week of February.

I do the Mountain Paws Dog Sled tours mostly in the Upper Blanco Basin and occasionally East Fork. It really helps me to keep an eye on the weather. This page was recommended to me by a friend. Thanks for doing this!
