2180 meters +4, Winds were 25-35 KPH from the SSW

1550 meters +7, No new new snow, Base 100 cm, Relative Humidity 47%.
660 meters 0, Valley Temp, Max Temp Yest +9, Record max temp recorded yesterday.
Today we have 9 hours of daylight, Sunrise 07:54 Sunset 16:55.
As of 07:00 Hours we have broken cloud and unlimited visibility.
For the Forecast, high pressure aloft will result in unsettled conditions today (mostly sunny) in a Southwesterly flow aloft. The air mass is still warm and dry with freezing levels at 3000 + meters slowly dropping to 2000 meters by this evening. The ridge will move East tonight as a weakening front moves onto the coast with freezing levels dropping to 1600 meters Tuesday afternoon. The precipitation that may fall from this front will likely happen later this evening into Tuesday morning. The ridge will begin to rebuild Tuesday afternoon with unsettled conditions into at least Friday. There is a chance of stratus cloud development above the valley floor with the inverted temperatures. Another weak front is forecasted to arrive Friday evening with a slightly cooler and moist series of fronts possible for the weekend. Still a long way off, so more on that later. Guesstimates trace to 2 cm by Tuesday afternoon.
Very weak front for tonight.
