Monday lingering snow showers from a weak disturbance could bring a final 1-3 inches to the mountains. Starting Tuesday high pressure builds in with temperatures warming into the 30's and then into the 40's through the end of next week. The forecast models are split on whether high pressure is strong enough to keep storms just to our North, or if we will see a series of weak storms able to push into the area starting next Friday. The week of the 13th there may be a better chance of storms pushing in.
