Summary

For the weekend high pressure continues to build in. We will see sunny skies and high temperatures into the 40's on the upper mountains, and 50's down low and at lake level. Wind gusts to 40 mph may continue today on the mountain top, but should start to relax over the weekend. Next week we begin a pattern change towards wetter and eventually cold weather. We could see the first storm move in Tuesday. The latest model runs show light precipitation possible Tuesday with snow levels above 8,000 feet. We may just see light high elevation snow up to an inch or two on the highest peaks. The next stronger storm moves in next Thursday into Friday. Snow levels this time could start around 7000 feet and fall quickly below lake level. So this could be an all snow event. We could see several inches of snow up to a foot+ on the mountains by Friday. There may not be much of a break next Saturday as the next in the series of storms could move in as soon as next Sunday with storms continuing into the week of the 22nd.
