Mountain Weather

Date: 02/17/2017

High-level clouds will gradually thicken through the day ahead of the next system. A deep Pacific trough will begin to move onshore and eastward over the weekend, centered over the Mexican border. Sorry Teo, it looks like you’re gonna have to open at 11 a.m. tomorrow. Accumulations look to be minor from the first phase of this relatively warm, southerly system. The higher elevations could pick up 2-5″ by Saturday evening, while valley bottom will see mixed precipitation forms again. Active weather remains in the forecast into next week.
