Forecast for Wednesday 7/26 - Thursday 7/27

The first in the series of warm storms arrives on Wednesday night. This storm will impact the central and southern resorts mainly. This is a smaller storm, and there may be just enough cold air in place to keep this all snow. This should only amount to < 10 cms though, winding up on Thursday.

Forecast for Friday 7/28 - Sunday 7/30

Storm #2 should start early Friday morning for the southern resorts. Accompanied by a warm front, precipitation will likely fall as rain, or at best a quick transition from snow to rain. This storm is taking a southerly track once again, so there won’t be too many impacts for the northern resorts. 

Rain will likely continue through the day on Friday, although a slowly approaching cold front may turn things to a mix Friday afternoon, especially in the south. The cold front never really makes it that far north though, so this will be mainly a rain event except for resorts like El Fraile, La Hoya, and Cerro Catedral. Accumulations here will be limited though, except farther south at El Fraile where 6 - 12 cms are possible on Sunday.

This system has a fair amount of moisture, so the rainfall amounts will be a concern. Check out the total precipitation forecast form the European model below.

Outlook for Monday 7/31 - Friday 8/4

Another warm storm is expected to arrive on Monday, once again with a southerly track. Right now this looks like a mostly rain event, but hopefully that will change in the coming days.
