The first front will arrive later on Tuesday bringing wet warm windy weather to our zone, with a Fl at around 1500 meters increasing to 2100 meters by Wednesday night. As of now another front arrives Thursday with a cooling trend and more precipitation, the Fl will likely range from 1600 meters in the am to 800 meters by Thursday evening. A westerly flow is forecasted to bring cooler unsettled weather for Friday. Guesstimates: 15-20 cm above 1400 meters by Wednesday morning, variable snow accumulation in the alpine with possibly 40 mm of precipitation by Thursday morning, 20-40 cm by Friday morning.
