Bigger Blue Skies
Summary
A ridge of high-pressure is currently situated over Montana bringing sunny skies and warm alpine temperatures through Saturday. This ridge of high-pressure now looks to break down Saturday night into Sunday allowing a bigger Pacific system to move in late Monday and Tuesday bringing colder temps and measurable snow back into the forecast.
Update
Today:
At 7:00AM it’s 14 degrees in the Village and 23 degrees at the 8800’ level of Andesite Mountain. No new snow fell in the past 24-hours. Currently the skies are clear over Lone and Andesite mountains. Current winds at the top of Andesite are blowing from the West/NW at 1 mph with a recent gust to 6 mph.
Today expect mostly sunny skies with high temperatures across the upper mountain locations (at 9000’) to be around 34 degrees. Winds will be blowing out of the South/SW at 10 to 12 mph with gusts to 20 mph.
Extended Forecast:
High-pressure ridging will keep things dry through Saturday. Expect mostly sunny skies along with a warming trend as well. High temperatures across the alpine terrain (9000’) could approach 38 degrees by Wednesday and 40 by Friday. The high-pressure now looks to weaken on Saturday night into Sunday by an approaching Pacific weather system. This will only bring a few clouds Sunday and Monday, so will keep the forecast partly sunny. Late Monday into Tuesday a bigger system looks to move into the Northern Rockies bringing much cooler air along with a return of measurable snow. Stay tuned.
