Summary

Today we will have sunny skies with highs in the 50's and light to calm winds. For Monday we still have some sun but upper mtn winds will start to pick up by afternoon, with gusts to 35 mph. High temperatures in the 50's at lake level but may cool a few degrees into the 40's on the upper mountains. For Tuesday we have a very weak system moving through. That will bring some cooler air with high temps only in the 40's at lake level and 30's on the mountains. This weak system could dust the mountains with some snow above 7000 feet, with maybe up to an inch or two along the crest above 8000 feet. Winds will be gusting to 50+ mph on the mountain tops. Wednesday we may have a short break with some sun and highs in the 40's. The winds could still be gusty on the mountains with one storm departing and another approaching. Thursday a strong cold front moves through with heavy snow ahead of and with the front, and showers behind it. The heaviest snow should fall Thursday into Thursday night and taper off by Friday morning. Snow levels start around 8,000 feet but fall during the day Thursday down below lake level by evening. We could see several inches of snow at lake level, and 1-2 feet of snow on the mountains. Friday into Saturday we start to clear out but with cold air behind the storm. High temperatures may only be in the 30's at lake level and 20's up on the mountains. It looks like the next storm could move in as early as next Sunday/Sunday night. This storm looks to have low snow levels. We have to watch to see how much moisture it could bring in. The storm door could remain open through the end of the month with more storms moving in the week of the 22nd.
