The past…
At Stevens Field the high temp yesterday afternoon was 49. The low this morning was 24. The peak wind at the airfield in the last 24 hours was 29mph.
Precip summary… A dusting of new snow fell up at Wolf Creek in the last 24 hours. A few lucky spots in the valley got a little more precip yesterday. The CoCoRaHS reports below are 3-day totals.


*** It would be VERY helpful if all CoCoRaHS volunteers measures snow. Please let us know if there is some way that we could help with snow measurements. ***
Forecast discussion…
This afternoon scattered showers will start over the mountains and then become more widespread by midnight. We’ll see on and off showers until the trough moves through Friday morning. The snow level will bounce around between 7,000ft and 8,500ft.
Saturday through Sunday morning ridging will build over the region and give us sunny skies and seasonal temps.
Sunday afternoon clouds will increase ahead of another weak system. A few spotty showers will pop up over the mountains in the afternoon and become more widespread after midnight. Occasional showers and a thunderstorm or two are possible until Monday afternoon when the trough moves through.


My forecast…

Sunday & Monday – Spotty showers will start over the mountains Sunday afternoon and become more widespread after midnight. The best chance for precip is midnight Sunday to noon on Monday. Showers will linger over the mountains until sunset on Monday. The snow level will start around 9,500ft and drop to 8,000ft by sunrise on Monday.
