Date: 02/21/2018

Enjoy a brief bit of sun this morning, before clouds rebuild this afternoon ahead of our next mini-storm.
An Aleutian High and a wobbling Low in the Great Basin are holding the storm track over Colorado into the near future. We’ll keep the every other day snow pattern going through the weekend.
Tonight, the southwest flow will usher in a few inches valley wide, then tomorrow west-southwest flow will keep the flakes adding up around Kebler and the divide.
