Summary

Windy and mild today with highs in the 40's, and winds gusting over 70 mph on the mountain tops. The winds continue to increase tonight with gusts over 100 mph up high and strong winds reaching down into the valleys. For Thursday we should see the precip return around mid-day. Snow levels are high around 9000 feet Thursday afternoon as the heavy rain begins to move in. Thursday night the snow levels may be slow to fall but should be at 8000 feet by 10 p.m., and then drop below lake level by 4 a.m. We could see several inches fall down to lake level by Friday morning, and 1-2 feet on the mountains. Above 9000 feet we could see up to 3 feet of snow. Friday and into the weekend it is cold with highs in the 20's and Breezy. There will be some leftover scattered snow showers for Friday and then clearing skies into the weekend. High pressure builds off the West Coast to start next week. We may briefly warm back into the 30's Tuesday before another cold front moves through Wednesday, and another cold front for next Friday. These fronts look to be moisture starved with only light amounts of snow possible with each.
