At 2280 meters the temperature is - 1, winds were 10-20 KPH from the E. At 1650 meters the temperature is -4, no new snow recorded. In the valley it is -11. Observations taken electronically at 06:00 hrs.
For the forecast the ridge may succumb to a front developing by Thursday night . Dry for the morning with clouds moving in by the afternoon. The models are conflicting but there is a chance of some welcomed snow Saturday. Friday is looking like an unsettled day so far with sun in the morning and then cloudier as the day progresses. We could see some flurries this evening. Flurries Friday afternoon, and snow for Saturday. The polar jet will steer moisture our way for early next week. Sunday morning could have as much as 10-15 cm on the ground, but more on that tomorrow.
