If you liked yesterday’s weather, then you’ll love today. More of the same on tap. High clouds, a bit of wind.
Tonight the action begins, albeit slowly. The irony is as thick as last winter’s snowpack. After a season with near record-setting dryness, here we are approaching closing weekend at the resort and we’ve got another approaching storm like the one two weeks ago with potentially record-setting moisture.
Here’s the breakdown: After midnight tonight through mid-day tomorrow 2-5″ of snow will fall, with rain lines near 9,000′. Tomorrow afternoon we get a lull in precipitation, with swampy warm conditions, and a chance for isolated thunderstorms. Saturday the atmospheric river begins to impact the area, first with exceptionally warm and moist air, then Saturday night into Sunday morning it’s an all-out alpine rager with very high precipitation rates. At the valley floors, we’ll see more rain, but near 12,000′ we could see a couple feet of snow falling overnight. Stay tuned, this season is going out with a bang.
