At 7:00AM it’s 9 degrees in the Village and 5 degrees at the 8800’ level of Andesite Mountain. 4 inches of new snow was reported in the last 24 hours at Headwaters stake ( 2 inches overnight) and 3 inches at Andesite stake (all 3 inches overnight). Currently the skies are partly cloudy over Lone and Andesite mountains. At Andesite Mountain at 8800’ winds are currently blowing out of the W/NW at 9 mph with a recent gust to 18 mph.
Today expect a partly cloudy, partly sunny and cold morning transitioning into increasing clouds just before noon with widespread snow showers developing by early afternoon. Light accumulations of 1 to 2 inches are possible by last chair. Mountain high temperatures across mid to upper mountain locations (at 9000’) will be around 10 to 12 degrees. Winds will be blowing out of the West/NW at 10 to 15 mph with gusts to 20 mph across the ridge tops.
Extended Forecast:
Sunny skies look to be on tap for Sunday along with slightly warmer daytime temps with a high near 20 across the upper terrain. Weather models are all now agreeing on bringing a high-pressure ridge into Montana Monday through Friday next week bringing mostly sunny skies along with a warming trend. Not the best long term forecast unfortunately.
