Sunday was a sunny day with warming temperatures that reached the teens and low 20s.

Monday will also be a sunny day with warming temperatures that are likely a few degrees warmer than Sunday.

As for snowfall, the mid-mountain snow stake is dry, but only for now. 

On Tuesday, expect more clouds and snow to begin to fall around midday or afternoon. 

On Tuesday night and Wednesday, snow could increase in intensity to a moderate level, and there could be soft conditions and maybe some powder during the day on Wednesday.

Then on Wednesday night into Thursday morning, it is possible that a round of more intense snow could fall as colder air moves in and the winds shift to the northwest, which is a favorable direction for us. If this works out, then Thursday morning could be a fun powder morning with a soft base from the snow on Tuesday and Wednesday and plenty of freshies (10+ inches) from the snow on Wednesday night into Thursday morning.

However, there are a few caveats. If the colder air stays just to the north and east, and the winds stay more from the west instead of from the northwest, then we will see lower snow totals and Thursday won't be as deep. Also, on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, winds could be gusty, so the best conditions might be in the trees, and the strong winds could affect lift operations now and again.

Looking ahead, there will likely be more snow on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, but I still have low confidence around the timing and amount of any snow that does fall during these days.

Thanks for reading and please check back each morning for daily updates!
