Storm Update

I'm seeing reports of 1 - 5 inches across the region. Bear Mtn./Snow summit is reporting the inch, while Snow Valley is reporting up to 5 inches with Mtn. High at 4 inches. 

You can see below that there's still precip coming throughout the day today, Monday and through the evening. 

But it's not exactly a lot more so I'm not expecting anyone to break the double digit numbers at this point. Maybe if a strong and prolonged snow band sets up we could see someone break into the 10 - 11 inch range but I'm not certain that will happen. 

I'm thinking another 3 - 5 inches is a good bet for most places. Mtn. High could fare well because of the Northeast wind, which is generally a favorable direction for them to get upslope snowfall. They may crest the double digit total if the wind continues to blow favorably. 

We'll see how things play out by tomorrow morning, but I know it will stay cold and breezy today on Monday with East to Northeast winds blowing up to 30 MPH on the exposed ridges and temps staying in the low 30's and upper 20's. Enjoy the storm skiing today! 

Tuesday - Sunday 

You can see that we dry out completely after this storm for the rest of the week. Temps will be rebounding into the 30's and 40's by Thursday and into the weekend. Tuesday will be a cold day still with gusty winds out of the Northeast up to 30 MPH. 

After Tuesday winds do die down quite a bit and should be mostly calm until the following Sunday, February 5th. 

Overall, expect dry and sunny weather for the entire week and enjoy the fresh powder out there!

The longer range continues to show pretty much dry weather. You can really see below on the 2 graphics that both the GFS and European Ensembles don't have much in store for us over the next 10+ days. 

The GFS ensemble runs show more activity after the 2nd weekend of February, but that's very far out and there's no consensus among the individual runs that it will be guaranteed. So we'll have to see. 

Till the next one.. Mike out.
