September 1, not much snow left on the southerly slopes.

Contrails help in the effect of the  sunset on August 31, 2013.

At 1835 meters the temperature was +9, winds were 5-25 KPH from the SSE. At 1550 metes the temperature was +11. In the valley it was +11. Observations taken at 10:00 hrs this am.

For the forecast an upper low remains off the coast spinning bands of moisture into our area. Today and Tuesday will be unsettled, Wednesday looks to be the nicest day of the week. Thursday into Friday looks to be very wet with significant moisture being drawn into the equation from the south pacific. Heaviest rain will likely come Thursday evening. There is a drying trend expected for Saturday into Sunday. Refer to the flow in the links below.
