Friday – 18 Mar 2022 – 10:20am
The past…
At Stevens Field the high temp yesterday afternoon was 44. The low this morning was 14. The cold spots dipped into the single digits. The peak wind at the airfield yesterday afternoon was 22mph.
Precip summary… We got a couple of surprise snow reports: 3+ inches from Debbie in Trujillo and 7” from Clayton in Lumberton! Wolf Creek reported 2” in the last 24 hours.
Thanks so much for your reports!

Forecast discussion…
Friday and Saturday scattered high cirrus clouds will continue to move through and we’ll be dry as ridging builds back over the region.
Sunday and Monday the next system will move through. It looks pretty similar to the system that just moved through.
Tuesday, ridging will gradually build back into the region and northerly flow will slowly dry us out.
Unfortunately I don’t see any weather to get excited about for the rest of the month – it looks pretty dry. Let’s hope the pattern changes in our favor!

My forecast…

Sunday – Scattered showers will start in the afternoon and increase overnight. The snow level will start at 8,000ft and gradually drop to 6,500ft overnight.
Monday – Scattered snowshowers will taper off by late afternoon in the valley and in the evening over the mountains.

Unless there’s a big change or something pops up, I’m skipping tomorrow and Mark will get the next post out sometime on Sunday.
