Mountains: 1-3”

Winds… Afternoon gusts will be around 30mph.

Temps… Highs will be in the low 30s to low 40s and lows tonight will be in the low single digits to  low teens

Saturday through Tuesday… Ridging will build back over the region giving us lots of sun and seasonal temps.

Winds… Afternoon peaks will be in the 10-15mph range.

Temps… Highs Saturday will be 30 to 40 and lows Saturday night will be 0 to 10. On Sunday highs will be in the mid-30s to low 40s and lows will be in the mid-single digits to mid-teens.  Monday and Tuesday highs will be in the low to high 40s and lows will be in the mid-teens to mid-20s.

Wednesday and Thursday… The next system will move through. It won’t have much moisture, so my expectations are low.

The forecast models are still all over the place, so I don’t have any confidence in the forecast details. Hopefully things are more clear when Mark takes over on Sunday.

Mark will take over on Sunday.
