Partly sunny for MLK Day in Sun Valley!

Summary

Skiers/riders will enjoy a super nice day at Sun Valley for MLK Day, with the warmest day of the week on the mountain to occur this afternoon with 34 degrees and light winds. High temps will be in the high 20s the rest of the week. No significant snow is expected through Thursday.

Update


Skiers participating in the Sun Valley SnowSports school rip some turns through the bumps on Bald Mountain (courtesy Sun Valley Resort). 

A slight weather disturbance is forecast to hit Sun Valley on Thursday, with a 20 percent chance of snow. It will be a quick event, and skies clear for Friday and another bluebird weekend at Sun Valley.  


GFS ensemble weather model shows a slight chance of light snow to fall in Sun Valley on Thursday. Most of the storm's impact will occur to the north of Sun Valley and Stanley.

 

High pressure aloft in the Western United States continues to favor the Eastern US for new snow and more precipitation through this week. 

Thanks for reading! My next forecast will be on Wednesday, Jan. 19.
