Snow returns on Tuesday

Summary

Monday will be the final warm day before we see cooler temperatures and snow on Tuesday into Wednesday.

Update

Sunday was another gorgeous spring day with mostly sunny skies and on-mountain high temperatures in the 50s.

Monday will be the final warm day in this stretch with temperatures rising into the upper 40s to mid-50s and some high clouds filtering the sunshine at times.

Then the weather will switch from spring to winter with snow returning on late Monday night and continuing through Wednesday afternoon. On Monday night and early Tuesday morning, we could see some showers with low accumulations. Then from Tuesday morning through Tuesday evening, a favorable wind from the west and west-northwest should deliver the steadiest snow of the storm. And from Tuesday evening through Wednesday, there should be more snow showers, but I have lower confidence in significant snow accumulations. Storm total snowfall should be in the 5-10 inch range, and I think the softest and deepest riding should be either the last chair on Tuesday or the first chair on Wednesday (if enough snow falls after lifts close on Tuesday afternoon). 

Following the storm, we'll see dry weather from Wednesday night through Thursday night, then a weaker storm should bring light snow between Thursday night and Friday night with maybe a few inches of accumulation.

After that, Saturday and Sunday should be dry and warm with high temperatures in the 30s and low 40s, then we could see a storm around Monday, April 4 to Tuesday, April 5.

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