Friday - Sunday:

A small area of rain and wet snow will track across the central portion of the Midwest Friday night into Saturday morning with some wet snow possible for first chair at Granite Peak on Saturday. Some of the light snow may also sneak over to Boyne Mtn and Treetops but any accumulations are expected to be on the light end. 

After the rain and snow move out, temperatures will warm quite nicely for Saturday with most of the resorts climbing into the 40s and 50s for highs. Buck Hill could sneak into the 60s for their last bonus day of the season. Sunday will be even warmer with some middle and upper 40s to low 60s possible. The best chance at seeing 60s will be for Granite Peak and over at Boyne Mtn. 40s and 50s are expected for resorts spinning the lifts in the Lake Superior region. 

April 10- 16:

Next week will bring very warm conditions to the Midwest with multiple days featuring highs in the 50s-70s. The exception could be for locations very close to Lake Michigan and Lake Superior as the cold water will limit some of the warming but that will mainly impact Lutsen and Bohemia. I do think it will be warm enough to play a role in how resorts determine closing dates and what terrain remains open. 

The next week also looks to be relatively quiet, with most of the days being dry or only a few light rain chances. A better-organized system may arrive towards the end of the week/into the weekend bringing with it the chance of rain.  

Daily Snow Schedule:

Look for the next forecast on Sunday morning with a brief recap of the season. The next Daily Snow after this Sunday is TBD due to the mild conditions expected and dwindling resorts left open. 

Thanks for following along this season and I hope that these forecasts aided in optimizing your time on the slopes!
