The layer helped to prevent any solar induced avalanches.
There was some cool light and eventually valley clouds formed through advection.
At 2284 meters the temperature was -5, winds were 10-20 KPH from the WNW. At 1650 meters the temperature was -5, no new snow recorded there. In the valley it was -1. Observations taken at 06:00 Hrs.
For the forecast the ridge of high pressure will bring mostly sunny skies as the cloud dissipates this morning. Warmer temperatures will be evident this afternoon. For Sunday the ridge will remain over our area and recede for Monday and Tuesday rebuilding again on Wednesday. Unsettled conditions for Monday and Tuesday, mostly cloudy with some flurries as a couple of weak fronts pass through our area. Long term looks like more ridging.
For this morning the low cloud layer is from 1500 meters to lowest point. Above that is blue skies. Should burn off later this afternoon.

One of the twin stars used in medical evacuation in our local mountains.
Unfortunately, more sunset pictures, we should receive some flurries in the middle of next week, but this ridge looks like its parked for a while!
